MIRACLE by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE

First Line: THAT IN YOUR ABSENCE I CAN FEEL THIS THRILL
Last Line: O HUSH, AND HARK! THERE CAME A THOUGHT OF YOU!
Subject(s): LOVE;
THAT in your absence I can feel this thrill
Pulsing my inmost soul; that I can know
Such wonder and such ecstasy, until
I marvel at the heights whereto I go,

Deem it not strange, beloved; every hour
Is white with consecration pure and true;
Then, wherefore wakes my heart like some glad flower?
O hush, and hark! There came a thought of you!
