(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

A poor -- torn heart -- a tattered¹ heart --
That sat it down to rest --
Nor noticed that the Ebbing² Day
Flowed silver to the West --
Nor noticed Night did soft descend³ --
Nor Constellation⁴ burn --
Intent upon the vision
Of latitudes⁵ unknown.

The angels -- happening that way
This dusty heart espied⁶ --
Tenderly took it up from toil
And carried it to God --
There -- sandals for the Barefoot --
There -- gathered from the gales⁷ --
Do the blue havens⁸ by the hand
Lead the wandering Sails.
