And folded round the Christ that stood At bedhead, carven in black wood ; And Floris, looking on the way Of light that through the chamber lay.
Was ware of a strange blossoming — As of some birth of holy thing — That in the bar of silver stirr'd ; And as he gazed, a snow-white bird Grew slowly into perfect shape, As if some virtue did escape From that strange silver prisonhouse Into the city perilous Of life, and for its safety's sake The likeness of a fowl did take.
The light seem'd loth to le...t it go Into this world of sin and woe (So pure and holy) and put out Long arms of white the dove about, As if to net it safely in : But, as the holy bird did win Its way and through the meshes rent, The rays of light together blent And fell into a cross of white.
Whereon the silver dove did light Above the image benedight.
Sir Floris wonder'd at the sight.
And looking on the cross, he deem'd That from the Christ a glory gleam'd 5/J? FLORIS. 153 And lay in gold towards the door; And something bade him go before.
