ANGEL-VISION
Love bringeth vision. All the world is new:
The sky's clear raiment of unsullied blue;
The night's robe, star-bestrewn;
Each wave that gleams and curves, each flower that blows;
Each scented petal of soft pink or rose;
Each leaf of leafy June.
The sky's clear raiment of unsullied blue;
The night's robe, star-bestrewn;
Each wave that gleams and curves, each flower that blows;
Each scented petal of soft pink or rose;
Each leaf of leafy June.
We see as God and Love see. Never more
Will colour now forsake the hills and shore
Or light forsake the skies.
Who slayeth self shall see, as angels see,
The whole world in its Eden-purity
With pure immortal eyes.
Will colour now forsake the hills and shore
Or light forsake the skies.
Who slayeth self shall see, as angels see,
The whole world in its Eden-purity
With pure immortal eyes.
