LOVE'S HIGHER WAY.
That borders on Infinity.
Since when I am not all my own,
Nor wholly thine—some part of me
Responds to God, and God alone.
For love makes silence in the heart
As well as song, and rolls the stone
From buried selves, and makes us part
Of all that was and is to be—
High-priests of life; and though thou art
Revealer and revealed to me,
And my desire has been fulfilled,
And all my life is crowned in thee,
Yet there remains a chord that, thrilled
To keener sense, doth recognize
The spirit claim, and I am stilled
With deepened reverence that lies
Below all speech. Behold I lay
My heart in thine, O bid me rise
To find with thee Love's higher way
That leads past self into the wide,
Still reaches of eternal day!
