Then why do earth and earthly things
Thus check my heavenward inclinations?
Oh! that I now had eagles’ wings,
To aid my longing aspirations!
Oh, come, Lord Jesus! nor delay
From this dark scene my soul to sever:
From earth I would depart away,
And with my Saviour be for ever.

Maria hat das gute Theil erwählet.
