STRAY BIRDS
286
Lead me in the centre of thy silence to fill my heart with songs.
287
Let them live who choose in their own hissing world of fireworks.
My heart longs for thy stars, my God.
288
Love's pain sang round my life like the unplumbed sea, and love's joy sang like birds in its flowering groves.
289
Put out the lamp when thou wishest.
I shall know thy darkness and shall love it.
[81]
