A poor mdash torn heart mdash a tattered heart mdashB
That sat it down to rest mdashB
Nor noticed that the Ebbing DayC
Flowed silver to the West mdashB
Nor noticed Night did soft descend mdashB
Nor Constellation burn mdashB
Intent upon the visionD
Of latitudes unknownE
-
The angels mdash happening that wayC
This dusty heart espied mdashB
Tenderly took it up from toilF
And carried it to God mdashB
There mdash sandals for the Barefoot mdashB
There mdash gathered from the gales mdashB
Do the blue havens by the handG
Lead the wandering SailsH
