Linger Long O Sound of Mind

Linger long O sound of mind, as arrows fall from Him Divine
Tipped in love that pierces deep, dividing first, then bringing peace
Give not way to Diversion's game, let not the fog dissolve your frame
The fabulist his story tells, a simple carol clanging bells
Linger long and notice now, that which clearer eyes avow
Declaring more than once was there, with sharpened sense comes sweeter care
Your ears now glean a tone unheard, a quickened wit, new tastes preferred
A story aching to be told, a measure now your soul can hold
Linger long, see not in part, and leave behind bewildered hearts
See what's not, then sight is gained, then boldly pen the great refrain
