XLIX. THE MIRROR OF THE WORD
(After Reading the Revised Version of the New Testament).
I gazed into a mirror large and grand:A landscape, unlike ours, was in it glassed;
A Man, but more than man, across it passed,
Pointing to birds and lilies with His hand.
Before the bright reflection as I stand
A holy peace is o'er my spirit cast;
I see a vision of the First and Last,
I hear a voice of sweet supreme command.
Methought some specks and stains had gathered there,
Veiling in parts those lineaments Divine,
But love removed the mist with quick-eyed care:
More clearly now we view the great design,
With fewer flaws upon the mirror fair,
Where limned for ever Truth and Beauty shine.
