I.
My Saxon shrine ! the only ground, Wherein this weary heart hath rest : What years the birds of God have found, Along thy walls their sacred nest : The storm — the blast — the tempest shock, Have beat upon those walls in vain ; She stands — a daughter of the rock— The changeless God's eternal fane.
II. Firm was their faith, the ancient bands, The wise of heart in wood and stone ; Who reared with stern and trusting hands, These dark gray towers of days unknown : They filled these aisles with ...many a thought.
They bade each nook some truth reveal ; The pillared arch its legend brought, A doctrine came with roof and wall.
ATonvenna Statio. 65 III.
Huge, mighty, massive, hard, and strong.
Were the choice stones they hfted then : The vision of their hope was long.
They knew their God, those faithful men. They pitched no tent for change or death, No home to last man's shadowy day ; There ! there ! the everlasting breath.
Would breathe whole centuries away.
IV.
See now, along that pillared aisle The graven arches, firm and fair : They bend their shoulders to the toil, And lift the hollow roof in air.
