P. 45
When Thou wert near
What need had I for the light of the day,
Or the moon in the night to lead the way,
O Beloved when Thou wert near?
What need had I for the summer's warmth,
or the cooling breezes swaying forth,
o Beloved, when Thou wert near?
What need had I for a bright sunny morn,
Or the shining stars, the dark sky adorn,
O Beloved when Thou wert near.
What need had I for the showers of rain
The fruits and the flower's Thou didst sustain
O Beloved when Thou wert near.
