"Thou whom I love, for whom I died, Lovest thou Me, My bride?" - Low on my knees I love Thee, Lord, Believed in and adored. "That I love thee the proof is plain: How dost thou love again?" - In prayer, in toil, in earthly loss, In a long-carried cross. "Yea, thou dost love: yet one adept Brings more for Me to accept." - I mould my will to match with Thine, My wishes I resign. "Thou givest much: then give the whole For solace of My soul." - More would I give, if I could get: But, Lord, what lack I yet? "In Me thou lovest Me: I call Thee to love Me in all." - Brim full my heart, dear Lord, that so My love may overflow. "Love Me in sinners and in saints, In each who needs or faints." - Lord, I will love Thee as I can In every brother man. "All sore, all crippled, all who ache, Tend all for My dear sake." - All for Thy sake, Lord: I will see In every sufferer, Thee. "So I at last, upon My Throne Of glory, Judge alone, So I at last will say to thee: Thou diddest it to Me." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A VOICE FROM THE SWEAT-SHOPS (A HYMN WITH RESPONSES) by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE SPELL OF THE YUKON by ROBERT WILLIAM SERVICE AFTER YEARS by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS EPIGRAM by DECIMUS MAGNUS AUSONIUS THE FAKENHAM GHOST by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD |
