With words of ivoryA
Of bronze of ebonyA
Of alabaster marble steel and goldB
The beauty of the visible is toldB

How how with these expressC
The unseen LovelinessC
Splendor and light and harmony and soundD
The heart has felt the sense has never foundD

No shining words of stoneE
Shadow and cloud aloneE

Whose lines would carve the mask of MysteryA
