The hiding of something from more than his eye
The parent’s dismay another is gaining her heart
The grievance would be theirs to find it soon taken
The difficulty being in sorrow & to be free as a lark

The parent’s suspicions of his adoration for another
The ample words of warning she hears while he’s away
The testing of dedication as if they've done this before
The strength from God His will presiding casing out fear

The first time she has given of herself to another
The prayer is for it to be his last God’s will be done
The hearts of all are centered on the calling of the Father
The desire of the lovers is to serve Him by the other’s side

The one she loves the one whose side she has walked by
The only human his heart has seen in such a way
The scales are off their eyes faults fully known
The perfectly imperfect one whose heart calls home
