We sow the glebe we reap the corn	A
We build the house where we may rest	B
And then at moments suddenly	C
We look up to the great wide sky	D
Inquiring wherefore we were born	A
For earnest or for jest	B
	-
The senses folding thick and dark	E
About the stifled soul within	F
We guess diviner things beyond	G
And yearn to them with yearning fond	G
We strike out blindly to a mark	E
Believed in but not seen	H
	-
We vibrate to the pant and thrill	I
Wherewith Eternity has curled	J
In serpent twine about God s seat	K
While freshening upward to His feet	K
In gradual growth His full leaved will	I
Expands from world to world	J
	-
And in the tumult and excess	L
Of act and passion under sun	M
We sometimes hear oh soft and far	N
As silver star did touch with star	N
The kiss of Peace and Righteousness	O
Through all things that are done	M
	-
God keeps His holy mysteries	P
Just on the outside of man s dream	Q
In diapason slow we think	R
To hear their pinions rise and sink	R
While they float pure beneath His eyes	S
Like swans adown a stream	Q
	-
Abstractions are they from the forms	T
Of His great beauty exaltations	T
From His great glory strong previsions	T
Of what we shall be intuitions	T
Of what we are in calms and storms	T
Beyond our peace and passions	T
	-
Things nameless which in passing so	T
Do stroke us with a subtle grace	T
We say Who passes they are dumb	U
We cannot see them go or come	U
Their touches fall soft cold as snow	T
Upon a blind man s face	T
	-
Yet touching so they draw above	V
Our common thoughts to Heaven s unknown	W
Our daily joy and pain advance	T
To a divine significance	T
Our human love O mortal love	V
That light is not its own	W
	-
And sometimes horror chills our blood	X
To be so near such mystic Things	T
And we wrap round us for defence	T
Our purple manners moods of sense	T
As angels from the face of God	Y
Stand hidden in their wings	T
	-
And sometimes through life s heavy swound	Y
We grope for them with strangled breath	Z
We stretch our hands abroad and try	D
To reach them in our agony	C
And widen so the broad life wound	Y
Which soon is large enough for death	Z
