When one has heard the message of the Rose, / For what faint other calling shall he care? / Dark broodings turn to find their lonely lair; / The vain world keeps her posturing and pose.
He, with his crimson secret, which bestows / Heaven on his heart, to Heaven lifts his prayer, / And knows all glory trembling through the air / As on triumphal journeying he goes.
