Poems

SELFLESS LOVE

From the April 1940 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Teach me to give.
Not grudgingly with measure spare,
Cold reticence, regretful care,
But as Love's full reflection may I give,
Yielding my life, my love, myself, each hour I live
In joyous abnegation.
Forgetful of all cost, refusing thoughts of gain,
Knowing no sacrifice, forgiving proud disdain;
Melting all earth-weights in Love's holy flame—
So may I give my all in Thy dear name.
