These songs I sing to you, who song inspire. Would I a message new might find and bring! Or touch with a live spark of heavenly fire These songs I sing!
Take them, for they are doves with fluttering wing, They try to reach your window: lift them higher— Up to your heart—there warm and nestling They shall find home, and life! If love aspire Shall it not speak? To voice a holy thing, To voice the heart's deep need—the soul's desire These songs I sing.
