by Henry (Richard Charles) Somerset, Lord (1849 - 1932)
One more glimpse of the sun
Language: English
One more glimpse of the sun, One more breath trom the sea, One more kiss from my darling one -- Then, Death, come speedily! One more smile from my sweet, One more clasp of a hand, One more sound of returning feet -- Then come, that Better Land! One more passionate prayer To Christ, that He shall be My Guide as I climb the Golden Stair -- Then come, Eternity!
