| 188. Loves Lord |
| By Edward Dowden (18431913) |
| |
| WHEN weight of all the garnerd years | |
| Bows me, and praise must find relief | |
| In harvest-song, and smiles and tears | |
| Twist in the band that binds my sheaf; | |
| |
| Thou known Unknown, dark, radiant sea | 5 |
| In whom we live, in whom we move, | |
| My spirit must lose itself in Thee, | |
| Crying a nameLife, Light, or Love. | |
