God send thee peace, Oh, great unhappy heart -- / A world away, I pray that thou mayst rest / Softly as on the Well-Belovèd's breast, / Where ever in her wistful dreams thou art.
At dawn my prayer is all for thee, at noon / My very heart and, Oh, at night my tears / For all we walk alone the empty years / Nor meet neath any sun -- neath any moon.
Yet must my love go with thee -- all apart / From this the life I lend to lesser things; / God send to thee this night beneath its wings, / A little peace, Oh, great unhappy heart.
