Renouncement. By Meynell, Alice Christiana. I must not think of thee; and, tired yet strong, I shun the thought that lurks in all delight - The thought of thee -and in the blue Heaven's height, And in the dearest passage of a song. Oh, just beyond the fairest thoughts that throng This breast, the thought of thee waits, hidden yet bright; But it must never, never come in sight; I must stop short of thee the whole day long. But when sleep comes to close each difficult day, When night gives pause to the long watch I keep, And all my bonds I needs must loose apart, Must doff my will as raiment laid away, - With the first dream that comes with the first sleep I run, I run, I am gathered to thy heart.
