: : 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
: Purple applauds Good poetry :)
I'm amazed Papa!
