733 The Clue

OH, frame some little word for me

None else shall ever hear or see,—

Something my soul can call her own,

When suddenly she feels alone;

Something that she can take away

When God shall draw the veil of clay;

Something that thou wilt know her by

Among the billions of the sky;

Something no other soul will fit

Save hers for whom thou makest it.
