IV. TO ------.
Wherever Beauty is, I find thee there,—Through every veil and guise, I find thee there:
Where the low zephyr dreams among thick flowers,
Embalmer of sweet thoughts! I find thee there;
Where full cascades leap down with curvèd steps,
Form of essential Grace! I find thee there;
In the broad mirror of the summer-sea,
Crystal entire of Truth! I find thee there;
In the unshaded presence of the sun,
Illuminating Mind! I find thee there;
In the mild splendours which enjoy the night,
Radiance of gentlest Love! I find thee there;
In the ecstatic realms that Prayer reveals,
There, Humble Holiness! I find thee there.
