To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
23 FIRST HALF-HOUR.
How sad the messengers of God must be To find some human soul they came to lead Into a higher presence through her need, Self-satisfied, oblivious of the plea Herself had raised with passionate design To God ; and thus unable to receive Or even recognize the new reprieve Which her own prayers had wrung from Love divine.
The misery of man's forgetting prayer Is nameless. Would to God we heard Forever threats of vengeance for the ill We have committed : but, that were too fair... A road to Heaven ; we must guess God's word, And then remember Him, then do His Will.
24 HYMNS FOR THE HOURS.
SECOND HALF-HOUR.
I know not if there be a sadder sight For purer eyes than ours, than souls whose prayers By tears were winged up Jacob's angel stairs And answered with intelligible light, Who use the Spirit's gifts to humiliate Themselves more deeply before flesh and blood, To worship death more thoroughly, till the flood Of bitter after-lust o'erwhelm with hate.
How sad to clear the vision, but to see More of the evil camped around the soul ; How sad to cleanse the heart from earthly love To have more power to hate and disagree ; And this to chance by lack of self-control — By mere forgetting of the Home above !
