The Single Theme

 

My songs have but a single theme:

Your love, Beloved, and your grace;

The world is but a dream in dream,

And Truth's the beauty of your face.

 

They say my themes are narrow, small,

For they can hardly understand

That You, O Love, are all in all,

And all the worlds are in your hand;

 

That when I sing of You, I sing

Of worlds beyond and worlds above,

That even my poorest song can bring

Eternal answers from your love.
