Comfort

Comfort

Oh, warm little hands of the sun!
Feeling your touch and your soft caresses,
I can forget all that man has done—
Forget the pain and the swift distresses
Thronging the path of the luckless one;
Nor heed the world, if it scorns or blesses.
Oh, soft little hands of the wind!
Brushing my cheeks like remembered kisses,
Breathing of love in a world unkind,
Yours is the magic of all earth's blisses,
Thrilling with music the troubled mind,
Wak'ning to beauties the sad heart misses.
Oh, cool little hands of the rain!
Stilling the fever of vain desire,
Freeing the heart from despair and pain,
Rouse me from grief, let my soul aspire,
That in my spirit may shine again,
Heatless and pure, the celestial fire.
