Title:     Verses [You Are My God, And I Would Fain Adore You]
Author: Laurence Hope [More Titles by Hope]

You are my God, and I would fain adore You
With sweet and secret rites of other days.
Burn scented oil in silver lamps before You,
Pour perfume on Your feet with prayer and praise.

Yet are we one; Your gracious condescension
Granted, and grants, the loveliness I crave.
One, in the perfect sense of Eastern mention,
"Gold and the Bracelet, Water and the Wave."

[The end]
Laurence Hope's poem: Verses [You Are My God, And I Would Fain Adore You]
