The Dove, Let Loose In Eastern Skies,
Returning Fondly Home,
Never Stoops To Earth Her Wing, Nor Flies
Where Idle Warblers Roam;
But High She Shoots Through Air And Light
Above All Low Delay,
Where Nothing Earthly Bounds Her Flight,
Nor Shadow Dims Her Way.
So Grant Me, Lord, From Every Snare
And Stain Of Passion Free,
Aloft, Through Faith’s Serener Air,
To Urge My Course To Thee;
No Sin To Cloud, No Lure To Stay,
My Soul As Home She Springs;
Thy Sunshine On Her Joyful Way
Thy Freedom On Her Wings.
