Thou may'st remember what I said
When thine own spirit was at strife
With thine own spirit. “From the tomb
And charnel-place of purpose dead,
Thro's spiritual dark we come
Into the light of spiritual life.”
God walk'd the waters of thy soul,
And still'd them. When from change to change,
Led silently by power divine,
Thy thought did scale a purer range
Of prospect up to self-control,
My joy was only less than thine.
