Katharine Tynan - EmptinessKatharine Tynan - Emptiness
Work rating: Low


Where there is nothing God comes in:     The Very God has room enough In the poor heart that`s stripped so clean     Of earth and all the joys thereof. I looked for shadow and the night     When Death had taken her Love away, But for the darkness there was light,     And for the night clear floods of day. Great light that filled it to the brim     And overflowed and spilt around, Flowing from Him, pulsing from Him,     And all the heart was holy ground. The earth, the heavens, cannot contain     Our God, nor any starry place; But He who takes delight with men     Bounds Him within a narrow space. And where her poor heart bleeds and breaks     Because her dearest Love is dead, The Lord of Life comes in and takes     Warm to His arms the piteous head.
