A
-
A Word made Flesh is seldomB
And tremblingly partookC
Nor then perhaps reportedD
But have I not mistookC
Each one of us has tastedD
With ecstasies of stealthE
The very food debatedF
To our specific strengthG
-
A Word that breathes distinctlyH
Has not the power to dieI
Cohesive as the SpiritJ
It may expire if HeH
Made Flesh and dwelt among usK
Could condescension beH
Like this consent of LanguageL
This loved PhilologyL
