THE CLUE by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES

First Line: OH, FRAME SOME LITTLE WORD FOR ME
Last Line: SAVE HERS FOR WHOM THOU MAKEST IT.
Subject(s): LANGUAGE; WORDS; VOCABULARY;

OH, frame some little word for me
None else shall ever hear or see, --
Something my soul can call her own,
When suddenly she feels alone;
Something that she can take away
When God shall draw the veil of clay;
Something that thou wilt know her by
Among the billions of the sky;
Something no other soul will fit
Save hers for whom thou makest it.
