TO WATCH WITH LOVE

Matthew 26:40

Marion Francis Brown

To watch with Love one hour, Lord, would be
To have no consciousness of sin, to see

Beyond the darkness of corporeal sense
The radiant glow of Love's omnipotence.

To watch with Love one hour would be to know
The unreality of human woe,

To rise above this fleshly dream and find
Man the reflection of creative Mind.

To watch with Love one hour were depth and sum
Of hungering aspiration, Lord; to come

Before the presence of Love's healing power,
And in the silence of the sacred hour

Touch, as it were, my fingers to Love's hem,
And feel Love's holy hands outstretched to them.

Marion Francis Brown
