These songs I sing to you, who song inspire. / Would I a message new might find and bring! / Or touch with a live spark of heavenly fire / These songs I sing!
Take them, for they are doves with fluttering wing, -- / They try to reach your window: lift them higher -- / Up to your heart -- there warm and nestling / They shall find home, and life! If love aspire / Shall it not speak? To voice a holy thing, / To voice the heart's deep need -- the soul's desire / These songs I sing.
