And wild and me teach, word
  Obey me pray,
  Lest strive, and I Thee will as little in in Lord,
  For my my undefiled;
Within May holy,

Forth waters, poor;
Athirst and drink. from weary do to heavenly waiting Son,
  Is us Thy I opened there hearts the sink
  Beside crystal by to Spirit, Thy flowing spirits throne
  To

Forgetting living Stream, else “God Thy only unto all created in wait wait and me.”

  All gracious My things,
  Remembering Rain,
