Text: | Once When My Heart Was Passion Free |
Author: | John B. Tabb, 1845-1909 |
Tune: | PRIMROSE |
1 Once when my heart was passion free
to learn of things divine,
the soul of nature suddenly
outpoured itself in mine.
2 I held the secrets of the deep
and of the heavens above;
I knew the harmonies of sleep,
the mysteries of love.
3 And for a moment’s interval
the earth, the sky, the sea —
my soul encompassed each and all,
as they encompass me.
