Excerpt from In the Gardens of God What unto the weary spirit brings This yearning for other things, This yearning for regions unseen, unknown? Do seraphim, fresh from the heavenly throne, For the love they bear, Assemble 'round, With bodies too rare For sight or sound, And in spirit language a tale unfold Of beauties unpictured and joys untold, That the soul can never resist? Is a subtle mist shaken from off their wings, As from night-wings the dewy mist, That unto the weary spirit brings This yearning for higher and better things? III. The thoughts drift away from the things of earth And a vision divine has birth. The power that draws them to look above Is the magnet of love. There are those we have lost in the years agone And we follow them on To a sweeter dawn We follow them on, till we see them stand, Their faces bright With a radiant light That shines o'er the Spirit Land. Our thoughts drift away from the things of earth And a wonderment deep has birth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
