My heart makes songs on lonely roads

My heart makes songs on lonely roads

To comfort me while you're away,

And strives with lovely sounding words

Its crowded tenderness to say.

Glimmering against the forward dark,

Your face I see with pride, with pain

So that one time I did desire

Never to see that face again.

But I am glad that Love has come

To bind me fast and try my worth;

For Love's a powerful Lord and gives

His friends dominion over the earth.
