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.
