MEDES AND PARTHIANS
We have been severed but that we might stand,
And of our Mother's love, on either hand,
Who have been as a thurible
With incense throbbing from one cell.
And of our Mother's love, on either hand,
Who have been as a thurible
With incense throbbing from one cell.
We have a little while been twain.
Now set us of one piece again,
O Holy Ghost, so that we hear each tongue
As if committed to one song;
Nor ever single, save to kneel,
And rose by rose thy dewing feel;
And rose by rose breathe forth to thee
In impulse of pure liberty,
And yet our praise commingled such
Thou dost snuff in the odour of one bush!
Now set us of one piece again,
O Holy Ghost, so that we hear each tongue
As if committed to one song;
Nor ever single, save to kneel,
And rose by rose thy dewing feel;
And rose by rose breathe forth to thee
In impulse of pure liberty,
And yet our praise commingled such
Thou dost snuff in the odour of one bush!
