A poor mdash torn heart mdash a tattered heart mdash | B |
That sat it down to rest mdash | B |
Nor noticed that the Ebbing Day | C |
Flowed silver to the West mdash | B |
Nor noticed Night did soft descend mdash | B |
Nor Constellation burn mdash | B |
Intent upon the vision | D |
Of latitudes unknown | E |

The angels mdash happening that way | C |
This dusty heart espied mdash | B |
Tenderly took it up from toil | F |
And carried it to God mdash | B |
There mdash sandals for the Barefoot mdash | B |
There mdash gathered from the gales mdash | B |
Do the blue havens by the hand | G |
Lead the wandering Sails | H |
