SONGS OF THE SOUL
THE EVER NEW
Newer joys adorn the day,
Brighter burn through livelong night
The stars with purer light,
Brighter thoughts do brace my voice,
Newer words await my choice,
With heart of th’ new I ’ll sing my lay.
Wings of thoughts would ceaseless beat
The sky of time, and race to meet
Thy distant throne
That somewhere is alone.
Brighter burn through livelong night
The stars with purer light,
Brighter thoughts do brace my voice,
Newer words await my choice,
With heart of th’ new I ’ll sing my lay.
Wings of thoughts would ceaseless beat
The sky of time, and race to meet
Thy distant throne
That somewhere is alone.
Each and every day
Men choir some song
Not with thoughts the same but a changing throng
Of newer ones that make Thy greater lay.
Men choir some song
Not with thoughts the same but a changing throng
Of newer ones that make Thy greater lay.
The bubbling joy
Of each little boy,
Each brew of friendship still
I steal, and with them fill
Of each little boy,
Each brew of friendship still
I steal, and with them fill
[ 74 ]
