The sunlight that makes of the heaven / A pathway for sylphids to throng; / The wind that makes harps of the forests / For spirits to smite into song, / Are the image and voice of a vision / That comforts my heart and makes strong.
I look in one's face, and the shadows / Are lifted: and, lo, I can see, / Through windows of evident being, / That open on eternity, / The form of the essence of Beauty / God clothes with His own mystery.
I lean to one's voice, and the wrangle / Of living hath pause: and I hear / Through doors of invisible spirit, / That open on light that is clear, / The radiant raiment of Music / In the hush of the heavens sweep near.
