- | |
Night with her power to silence day | B |
Filled up my lonely room | C |
Quenching all sounds but one that lay | B |
Beyond her passing doom | C |
Where in his shed a workman gay | B |
Went on despite the gloom | C |
- | |
I listened and I knew the sound | D |
And the trade that he was plying | E |
For backwards forwards bound on bound | D |
A shuttle was flying flying | E |
Weaving ever till all unwound | D |
The weft go out a sighing | E |
- | |
II | A |
- | |
As hidden in thy chamber lowest | F |
As in the sky the lark | G |
Thou mystic thing on working goest | F |
Without the poorest spark | G |
And yet light's garment round me throwest | F |
Who else as thou were dark | G |
- | |
With body ever clothing me | H |
Thou mak'st me child of light | F |
I look and Lo the earth and sea | H |
The sky's rejoicing height | F |
A woven glory globed by thee | H |
Unknowing of thy might | F |
- | |
And when thy darkling labours fail | I |
And thy shuttle moveless lies | J |
My world will drop like untied veil | I |
From before a lady's eyes | J |
Or all night read a finished tale | I |
That in the morning dies | J |
- | |
III | A |
- | |
Yet not in vain dost thou unroll | I |
The stars the world the seas | K |
A mighty wonder painted scroll | I |
Of Patmos mysteries | K |
Thou mediator 'twixt my soul | I |
And higher things than these | K |
- | |
Thy holy ephod bound on me | H |
I pass into a seer | L |
For still in things thou mak'st me see | H |
The unseen grows more clear | M |
Still their indwelling Deity | H |
Speaks plainer in mine ear | L |
- | |
Divinely taught the craftsman is | N |
Who waketh wonderings | N |
Whose web the nursing chrysalis | N |
Round Psyche's folded wings | N |
To them transfers the loveliness | N |
Of its inwoven things | N |
- | |
Yet joy when thou shalt cease to beat | F |
For a greater heart beats on | O |
Whose better texture follows fleet | F |
On thy last thread outrun | P |
With a seamless woven garment meet | F |
To clothe a death born son | P |
