A. H. Haynes Bell - To Stella II lyrics

O be thou 'ware, since thus on thee I look, Thou lead me not in any wise astray. Seek thou Heaven's grace; and, lady, see thou brook No sin upon thy soul by night or day. I toil on after; up the shining way I would ascend; be thou my spirit's guide. There is no joy like theirs who thus a**ay, Nor shall be crown that brighter shines beside. I charge thee, then, by all of good and fair, That thou pursue unmoved thy upward road-- To fairer scenes, to realms of purer air, To nobler heights, to heaven, and to God. I follow on, now near, and now afar; But yet I follow on, O my life's star!
