Oh, art Thou Love to me?

I cannot rear my thoughts amid the golden spheres,

Where roll the stars about Thy throne on high,

But here in lowly wise I call on Thee with tears,

And feel Thy presence nigh.

Childlike to Thee I looked when came the night of fear,

On Thee I laid my sorrows of the day;

The whole earth spake of One who seemed to be so near,

It was not hard to pray.

The bolted doors that lock the corridors of Time,
