The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
“Judge not according to the appearance.”
Lord, purge our eyes to see
Within the seed a tree,
Within the glowing egg a bird,
Within the shroud a butterfly:
Within the seed a tree,
Within the glowing egg a bird,
Within the shroud a butterfly:
Till taught by such, we see
Beyond all creatures Thee,
And hearken for Thy tender word,
And hear it, “Fear not: it is I.”
Beyond all creatures Thee,
And hearken for Thy tender word,
And hear it, “Fear not: it is I.”
