White Star of Time

Language: English

Each love-thought in thy mind doth rise
    As some white cloud at even,
Till in sweet dews it falls on me
    Athirst for thee, my Heaven !

My Heaven, my Heaven, thou art so far!
    Stoop, since I cannot climb:
I would this wandering fire were lost
     In thee, white Star of Time !
