That borders on Infinity. Since when I am not all my own, Nor wholly thine—some part of me

Responds to God, and God alone. For love makes silence in the heart As well as song, and rolls the stone

From buried selves, and makes us part Of all that was and is to be— High-priests of life; and though thou art

Revealer and revealed to me, And my desire has been fulfilled, And all my life is crowned in thee,

Yet there remains a chord that, thrilled To keener sense, doth recognize The spirit claim, and I am stilled

With deepened reverence that lies Below all speech. Behold I lay My heart in thine, O bid me rise

To find with thee Love's higher way That leads past self into the wide, Still reaches of eternal day!
