III. TRANSFIGURATION.
II.
While still I gazed upon the pictured scene,The outlines seem'd before mine eyes to swim,
And all the forms to waver and dislimn.
The Father faded in the clear serene
Of space ethereal, and no more was seen.
Slowly receded to the distance dim
The winged host, while, group'd where they had been,
A quire of holy women sang the hymn.
The Virgin still her baby fondly press'd,
But not upon the moon her feet were placed;
Now on our kindly planet did they rest;
And on the letter'd scroll above her head,
Where late the name Deipara I read,
Stood out l'Umanità distinctly traced.
