Little Gray Songs from St. Joseph's - Part 48

But if my star of joy should call—
A call as stars may give—
“Awake, O slumbering little soul,
Awake, arise, and live!”

How would a soul reach out to life
From silence and the tomb;
How would a soul unfold to light
And up through darkness bloom!

How would a laughing soul scale Heaven
And star on star let fall,
If o'er the death-song of the worlds
My star of joy should call!
