II. TRANSFIGURATION.
I.
Late in a dream methought I slowly stray'dThrough an antique cathedral's spaces vast,
And in the Lady Chapel stood at last
Before a picture, where my steps I stay'd
In contemplation of the group portray'd
By the old master's pencil, which surpass'd
All others in the mystic charm it cast
About the features of the blessed Maid.
Star-crown'd she stood upon a crescent moon,
And to her bosom clasp'd her wondrous boy.
The Eternal Father, stooping from above,
O'er son and mother stretch'd His arms of love;
While hovering cherubs sang some heavenly tune,
Their faces kindled with adoring joy.
