Poems (Coolidge)/"Come Ye Apart"
"COME YE APART"
Come ye apart! in love I plead, E'en for a little while; Forget those fleeting, empty joys That oft your souls beguile.
Come ye apart! for pardon pray. Whilst listening ear I bend; If ye but struggle for the right Mine arm shall e'er defend.
Come ye apart! My praise to sing Within my courts to dwell; As solemn sweet the anthem rolls 'Twill joy of heaven foretell.
Come ye apart! in stillness rest; In silence lowly kneel; 'Tis ever to the listening heart That I, myself, reveal.
