I Wonder - Elfrida De Renne Barrow

My heart is a small room,
  And life is the light of day
That peeps in through the window
  Joyous and gay.

When Time draws down the blind
  And leaves me to the night,
Will God come then, I wonder,
  And bring me light?

Elfrida De Renne Barrow (1884 - 1970) USA
