by Charles Hanson Towne (1877 - 1949)
Language: English
I need so much the quiet of your love, After the day's loud strife; I need your calm all other things above, After the stress of life. I crave the haven that in your dear heart lies, After all toil is done; I need the starshine of your heavenly eyes, After the day's great sun!
