THAT ONE LOST CHORD DIVINE

I have sought,*
But seek it vainly, that one lost chord divine,*
The one by which thy wouldst ere now be
Mine, by all that’s been fashioned, wrought
It should be so, but alas, I know it in my
Heart, such a fantasy, will never be, we
Shall remain evermore separated, apart,
My spirit to such rapturous states would
Ascend, when I was naïve and trusted in
Your word, but at present, those songs I
Sang, go unheard, unfortunately, I am at
The bitter end, alas, never to dwell in that
Glorious, magnificent realm, no celestial
Blue eyes, nor mirthful laugh to overwhelm
