A Forsaken Nest
When birds with busy beaks their nests were building
Love found a nest prepared — Love found my heart
I gave him place — to Love who is not yielding
When sheltering Love is sharing Heaven's part?
When little birds were but half-clad with feathers
And all their nests were full of nestlings' play,
My life was full of glad sunshiny weathers,
For growing Love within my heart made gay.
When full fledged broods flew off on wings ungrateful
And lightly left deserted many a nest,
Love left my heart, for Love was false, deceitful —
Yet I may not upbraid — Love was my guest!
Love found a nest prepared — Love found my heart
I gave him place — to Love who is not yielding
When sheltering Love is sharing Heaven's part?
When little birds were but half-clad with feathers
And all their nests were full of nestlings' play,
My life was full of glad sunshiny weathers,
For growing Love within my heart made gay.
When full fledged broods flew off on wings ungrateful
And lightly left deserted many a nest,
Love left my heart, for Love was false, deceitful —
Yet I may not upbraid — Love was my guest!
