INVITATION.
O drooping Sadness, whose wrapt gaze
Hath been on face of slow-pac'd night
Watching the beam of dawning light,
Come here, and learn thy song of praise.
Hath been on face of slow-pac'd night
Watching the beam of dawning light,
Come here, and learn thy song of praise.
O Singleness of eye and heart,
Which fleetest over earthly things,
Nor fold'st below thy weary wings,
Here find thy rest, and take thy part.
Which fleetest over earthly things,
Nor fold'st below thy weary wings,
Here find thy rest, and take thy part.
O sacred Awe, whose downcast look
Is on the pavement of the shrine,
Which all unearthly seems to shine,
Look up,—a healing Presence brook!
Is on the pavement of the shrine,
Which all unearthly seems to shine,
Look up,—a healing Presence brook!
