Ten-Thousand Flower-Flames
Without a second
I have seen God’s Smiles.To my sorrow,
They are not as beautiful
As God’s Eyes.
Truth to tell,
His Eyes are infinitely more beautiful
Than His Smiles.
I have devoured God’s Eyes.
To my sorrow,
They are not as delicious,
As nutritious,
As illumining,
And as fulfilling
As God’s Heart.
His Heart was,
Is,
And will always remain
Without a second.
