- To the Longing in a Man's Heart
-
- I cannot think but that the state of Man
- Improved would be had he this glorious thing
- Which God hath put into His righteous plan,
- Which blood and bones and heart and poets sing.
- 'Tis joy to sense its presence near to thee,
- And mirth which flows unbounded in the soul.
- Thou canst have freedom and can truly see
- That thing which makes a Man be truly whole.
- 'Twould be for me this object of desire
- 'Tis now to be forever in my mind.
- It is within my heart a flaming fire:
- The longing every man does long to find.
- You wonder what can move my soul to sing?
- A lady near; that is this glorious thing.
