When the way is | When the way is lost in an ocean of gloom, | ||
Just don't forget the polestar of life. | |||
Can | Can dark waters overwhelm the ethereal beloved, | ||
Who dances round and round despair? | Who dances round and round despair? | ||
Place many a fresh flower on the altar of mind; | Place many a fresh flower on the altar of mind; | ||
Attentively sprinkle them with dew-washed smiles. | Attentively sprinkle them with dew-washed smiles. | ||
Across the fair | Across the fair firmament, watch His radiance float | ||
On a sea of form-free spirituality. | On a sea of form-free spirituality. | ||
Of no avail is prayer or seek-and-find; | |||
Just | Just see Him very near, and life is replete. | ||
