WHITE STAR OF TIME by WILLIAM SHARP

First Line: EACH LOVE-THOUGHT IN THY MIND DOTH RISE
Last Line: IN THEE, WHITE STAR OF TIME!
Subject(s): HEAVEN; LONGING; SPIRITUAL LIFE; PARADISE;

Each love-thought in thy mind doth rise
As some white cloud at even,
Till in sweet dews it falls on me
Athirst for thee, my Heaven!

My Heaven, my Heaven, thou art so far!
Stoop, since I cannot climb:
I would this wandering fire were lost
In thee, white Star of Time!
