O Tender Song Poem by Peter S. Quinn

How sad the tune of heaven is
Now turning to dark deep
Like morning that is in its bliss
And love can never keep

O feelings tender in their while
So much of sorrow's touch
Of this true inner feelings style
And love that give as much

O tender song of heart's cry
That now is here with me
Please let your tones to heaven fly
And become once again free

So I may see the blue opening sky
Of the faraway hidden place
With longings of my love there fly
In God's own mysteries ways
