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.
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.
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.
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.
In silence lowly kneel;
'Tis ever to the listening heart
That I, myself, reveal.
