Religion

The World's, and Mine

by Cale Young Rice 1872–1943

From Plays and Lyrics (1906)

Religion

The world may hear
The wind at his trees,
The lark in her skies,
The sea on his leas;
May hear the song rise
From the breast of a woman
And think it as dear
As heaven tho' human.
But I have a music they can never know--
The touch of you, soul of you, heart of you. Oh!
All else that is said or sung 's but a part of you--
Ever to me 'tis so!
