THE GOD OF MY CHILDHOOD. |
27 |
|||
|
|
||||
|
I know not what I thought of Thee, What picture I had made Of that eternal Majesty To whom my childhood prayed. |
 |
|||
|
|
||||
|
I know I used to lie awake,
And tremble at the shape Of my own thoughts, yet did not wish
Thy terrors to escape. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
I had no secrets as a child, Yet never spoke of Thee;
The nights we spent together, Lord ! Were only known to me. |
