: A Trilogy
: Soul Divine
: Come down, O Love divine,
: Seek thou this soul of mine,
: And visit it with thine own ardour glowing;
: O comforter, draw near,
: Within my heart appear,
: And kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
: O let it freely burn,
: Till earthly passions turn
: To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
: And let thy glorious light
: Shine ever on my sight,
: And clothe me round, the while my path illuminating.
: Let holy charity
: Mine outward vesture be,
: And lowliness of heart,
: Which takes the humbler part,
: And over itıs shortcomings weeps with loathing
: Next......
: Trees
: Of all the tree that grow so fair,
: Old England to adorn,
: Greater are none beneath the sun,
: Than Oak and Ash and Thorn.
: Next ......
: Rights
: Its nice to meet serious people
: And hear them explain their views;
: Your concerns for the rights of women
: Is especially welcome news.
: Iım sure you would never exploit one;
: I expect you would rather be dead;
: I am thoroughly convinced of it,
: Now , can we go to bed?
: End
