[Faith points to viewless wonders all inherit]
Faith points to viewless wonders all inherit,Expressing in a prayer that Harmony
Felt in the soul which hath recourse on high
Of the Universal with the Human Spirit.
This also through the gates of ear and eye
Reveals itself in beauty, so intense
That the glad Spirit, using modes of sense,
Brings forth our angel-mortal, Poesie.
Form satisfies, establishing the past.
Colour enlivens, makes the present keen.
Music breeds longings, wooing bodiless.
By habitude of Language, things are seen,
And Music's cousin can to ear express
The musical of Life, orb'd in sweet Verse at last.
