The opening
CONSECRATION
At Thy feet I come to shower All my full heart’s rhyming flower, Of Thy breath born. By Thy love grown. With my lonely seeking found. By hands Thou gavest picked and bound; — For Thee the sheaves Within these leaves: — Of my life’s season The choicest flowers, With petals soulful spread. Their humble perfume shed; — Hands folded now I come to give What’s Thine — receive!
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
