The Lord is great: the Lord is wise Within His temple to foresee With calm impenetrable cyes The after glory that shall be ; But we, of mortal bodies born, Laugh lies consoling unto scorn. The God of Israel is strong; His mighty arm hath wrought this day A victory and a triumph-song— And now He breathes upon His clay, And we, who were as idols crowned, Lie dust upon the empty ground. She goes, our sorrow’s sacrifi…

The Lord of Hosts gave ear unto her song: The Lord of Hosts waxed wrathful at her wrong. He loosed the hound of heaven from its thong. Violent and vivid smote the levin flash. Once the tower rocked and cracked beneath its lash, Caught inextinguishable fire; was ash. But that same fire that quelled the robber strife, And struck each being out of lust and life, Left the mild maiden a rejoicing wife. Ι3

O Rose all roses far above In the garden of God’s roses, Sorrowless, thornless, passionate Rose, that lies Full in the flood of its own sympathies And makes my life one tune that curls and closes On its own self delight ; A circle, never a line ! Safe from all wind, Secure in its own pleasure-house confined, Sure lord of it…
