Susan Mitchell (18661926)359. Loves Mendicant
W
No gift of smile or tear
Nor casual company,
But in still speech to me
Only thy heart to hear.
Go lonely here and there;
I cannot pass thee by,
Love’s Mendicant am I
Who meet thee everywhere.
Thou mayst not give to me
The counterfeits they take.
I claim Him for Love’s sake,
The Hidden One in thee.
