Will I Pine Away without Thee?

—after “Door of My Heart”

For Thee, O my Divine Belovèd,,
I give my heart— a window and a door.
I throw open the window;
I open wide the door;
Every hour I need Thee.
Every minute slips into
Every hour of needing Thee.
Morning, noon, evening,
Night and day, night and day,
I need Thee.
When wilt Thou come into my heart?
Will I pine away without Thee?

O, my Divine Belovèd,,
I wait with the windows and doors
Of my heart thrown wide open for Thee—
Come, come to me, O Belovèd,,
Come, come to me, O Divine Belovèd.
