|
I am a beggar maid |
|
At Thy temple's golden gate, |
|
Singing in a faint voice |
|
Of my love insatiate. |
|
In the mellow hour of eve, |
|
Inlaid with ruby and sapphire, |
|
Beyond the burning West |
|
I sight Thy shrine's high saffron spire. |
|
In the silent hour of dawn, |
|
When the smile of East is yet in bud, |
|
The gentle breeze conveys |
|
My song to Thee, though sung not loud. |
|
Come, Lord! out of the smile |
|
Of dawn's silvery bloom, |
|
Riding on the first sun-beam |
|
To lift me from my gloom. |
|
Enter the dew-drop of my soul |
|
And dance to my plaintive singing, |
|
Then let me reap my love's harvest. |
|
A kiss, an embrace and life's forgetting. |
