IV.

Lord of my life! if I am blind,

I reck not--thou canst see;

I

well may wait my summer mind, When I am sure of thee!

I made no brave bright suns arise,

Veiled up no sweet gray eves;

I hung no rose-lamps, lit no eyes,

Sent out no windy leaves!

I

said not "I will cast a charm These gracious forms around;"

My heart with unwilled love grew warm;

I took but what I found!

When cold winds range my winter-night,

Be thou my summer-door;

Keep for me all my young delight,

Till I am old no more.

SONGS OF THE WINTER DAYS.
