O LOVELY chance, what can I do br To give my gratefulness to you? br You rise between myself and me br With a wise persistency; br I would have broken body and soul, br But by your grace, still I am whole. br Many a thing you did to save me, br Many a holy gift you gave me, br Music and friends and happy love br More than my dearest dreaming of; br And now in this wide twilight hour br With earth and heaven a dark, blue flower, br In a humble mood I bless br Your wisdom—and your waywardness. br You brought me even here, where I br Live on a hill against the sky br And look on mountains and the sea br And a thin white moon in the pepper tree.
