SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 27 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: LORD OF THE VASTY TENT OF HEAVEN
Last Line: AND ONE GREAT LOVE FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Lord of the vasty tent of heaven,
Who hast to thy saints and sages given
A thousand nights with their thousand stars,
And the star of faith for a thousand years,
Grant me, only a foolish rover
All thy beautiful wide world over,
A thousand loves in a thousand days,
And one great love for a thousand years.
