The Miracle.
If thou bee'st Ice, I do admireHow thou couldst set my heart on fire;
Or how thy fire could kindle me,
Thou being Ice, and not melt thee;
But even my flames, light at thy own,
Have hardned thee into a stone!
Wonder of Love, that canst fulfill,
Inverting nature thus, thy will;
Making ice one another burn,
Whilst it self doth harder turn.
J. S.
