That lightly rain from ladies' hands. When down the stormy crescent goes, A light before me swims, Between dark stems the forest glows, I hear a noise of hymns : Ill Then by some secret shrine I ride; I hear a voice, but none are there ; The stalls are void, the doors are wide, The tapers burning fair. Fair gleams the snowy altar-cloth, The silver vessels sparkle clean. The shrill bell rings, the censer swings. And solemn chants resound between. A maiden knight — ^to me is given Such hope, I kn...ow not fear ; I yearn to breathe the airs of heaven That often meet me here. I muse on joy that will not cease. Pure spaces clothed in living beams, Pure lilies of eternal peace. Whose odors haunt my dreams ; And, stricken by an angel's hand. This mortal armor that I wear, This weight and size, this heart and eyes, Are touched, are turned to finest air. The clouds are broken in the sky, And thro' the mountain-walls A rolling organ-harmony Swells up, and shakes, and falls. Then move the trees, the copses nod.
