Canst here remain

Canst here remain
Within my pain
For downward
Drains the life
From me

Once shed all sins
And sorrows known
Then come thee
Come home

For sorrows
Need not all
Thy days

There is
Still dawn
Delight
Of days

For fill thy eyes
With wondrous
Surprise

And draw thee in
Thy comfort
Again

So long all fear
Hath plagued
Thee here

And here
Abide
In love
Do hide

How warm thy touch
And full thy joy
For long our hearts
Have longed for thee

-Joshua Lee Foist
