Just lost, when I was saved! Lyrics
160
Just lost, when I was saved!
Just felt the world go by!
Just girt me for the onset with Eternity
When breath blew back
And on the other side
I heard recede the disappointed tide!
Therefore, as One returned, I feel
Odd secrets of the line to tell!
Some Sailor, skirting foreign shores
Some pale Reporter, from the awful doors
Before the Seal!
Next time, to stay!
Next time, the things to see
By Ear unheard
Unscrutinized by Eye
Next time, to tarry
While the Ages steal
Slow tramp the Centuries
And the Cycles wheel!
Just lost, when I was saved!
Just felt the world go by!
Just girt me for the onset with Eternity
When breath blew back
And on the other side
I heard recede the disappointed tide!
Therefore, as One returned, I feel
Odd secrets of the line to tell!
Some Sailor, skirting foreign shores
Some pale Reporter, from the awful doors
Before the Seal!
Next time, to stay!
Next time, the things to see
By Ear unheard
Unscrutinized by Eye
Next time, to tarry
While the Ages steal
Slow tramp the Centuries
And the Cycles wheel!
