Anon I saw a star from weeping red, — From weeping blood and lo ! whenas it bled The earth ensanguined with the blood it shed. Did this befall because I dared not sleep Or did the star a mourning vigil keep Or a sad angel over heaven's wall weep ?
74 THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD VI Why thus enshrouded sombrously, O God, Who still designest worlds beyond our ken, Of Thought almighty monarch ? Lo ! again I, sinner, sin-begot, would cast this load Of guilt before Thy throne, but only gaze Into Thine e...yes insoluble to find An image of my own beclouded mind ; Loveless and hateless, with my erring ways Concerning not Thyself and only kind To Thy celestial heralds who Thee praise Thou seem'st ; wilt ne'er divide the lurid cloud Nor flash therethrough in glory and in strength Nor light me with Thy wisdom ? Speak at length An erring servant heareth, lowly bowed.
THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD 75 VII Around the footstool of God's holy seat The noxious weeds of sin grew hurtfully, Crept ever closer to His holy feet And trespassed on His holy ecstasy ; Wayfaring men attend and mutely gaze Till He shall quell the insolence of sin, And lilies of the valley in amaze Droop low the mat of noxious weeds within ; Over the mound of infamy He bends, Beholds the lilies growing meekly there Whose odour is an offering in His sight, Straight plucks the flowers, with flowers of Eden blends, And, lest the earth should be no longer fair, Transforms the hurtful weeds to lilies white.
