When to me
———————————————————
When to me The sea is only water, The sky is only air, Mountains only earth heaps Scattered here and there
When to me Love’s a trick of nature Money’s just to hoard The flashing of a child’s smile Leaves me only bored;
When to me Christ is but a teacher No Cross, no Olivet, God’s a force once started And somehow running yet —
Then to me Send thy swiftest death stroke — Flesh can know no dread Of final parting From a soul long dead ! ————————————————————
