Except the Christ be born again tonight  
  In dreams of all men, saints and sons of shame,  
  The world will never see his kingdom bright.  
  Stars of all hearts, lead onward thro' the night  
  Past death-black deserts, doubts without a name,  
  Past hills of pain and mountains of new sin  
  To that far sky where mystic births begin,  
  Where dreaming ears the angel-song shall win.
Star Of My Heart (1913)
