When I fell at the feet of the Holy,

And about me a voice said, "Be mine,"

There arose from the depths of my spirit

An echo: "My heart shall be thine."

Do you ask how I live in the Valley?

I weep, and I dream, and I pray;

But my tears are as sweet as the dew-drops

That fall on the roses in May;

And my prayer, like a perfume from censer,

Ascendeth to God night and day.
