Come through the gloom of clouded skies, br The slow dim rain and fog athwart; br Through east winds keen with wrong and lies br Come and lift up my hopeless heart. br br Come through the sickness and the pain, br The sore unrest that tosses still; br Through aching dark that hides the gain br Come and arouse my fainting will. br br Come through the prate of foolish words, br The science with no God behind; br Through all the pangs of untuned chords br Speak wisdom to my shaken mind. br br Through all the fears that spirits bow br Of what hath been, or may befall, br Come down and talk with me, for thou br Canst tell me all about them all.
