Love

The Singing of the Children for Theo

by Mary E. Coleridge 1861–1907

From Poems (1908)

Love

Little Theo's gone away,
Gone away.
We shall never see her play,
See her play,
Here and there, the livelong day.

God in Heaven loves us all,
Loves us all.
Little Theo heard Him call,
Heard Him call j
And she let her playthings fall,

God in Heaven loved her so,
Loved her so.
"Little Theo, will you go?
Will you go? »
And she left us here below.

Very gently let us sing,
Let us sing.
Theo now remembering,
Remembering,
Loving more than anything!
