JYe world-aged trees that give true ntrength iXour time-worn boughs, your singing leaves, hold joy; 'And is you rock your birds to rest They stretch out their arms; Tak» them and hush that forlorn dirge, Show them the path of light: Theirs is the pain of separation. —with symp.
Ah, throbbing sea, let those waves of thine Always throb their wordless litany. Let thy great anguished heart give one beat Of pity for those that weep. Engulf each thought with thy continual roar. Theirs is the pain of separation. Great white stars, illume each tear-wet face; Shine your light into this heavy gloom, into the depth of their souls. Help them in their search for the dawn that ever you gaze on. The song of the dawn was meant for their ears, 1 To show there is no separation! ithy to those who have lost little Elma.
