My Longings
My Longings make me poor and weak,    They hear not my secret will.
Ever they hate my quest supreme,
    Away they take my thrill.
A day shall come I know it well,
    When all desires of mine
Will seek Thy Grace and Thee alone.
    I then in Thee shall shine.
I will be above the fruits of deeds.
    Thy blue Compassion-Eye
Will guide my heart and soul, my all.
    In Thee my past shall die.
