AMPHORA
XIII
S in the sleeping lake we view
A pallid image of the blue,
So in Thy Chapel may we see
A faint enshadowing of Thee.
Our minds are dull, our lives are base ;
We cannot see the maiden face.
Imagination may not run
From moonlight to the self-lit sun.
Darkly as in a glass we gaze
And lose ourselves in pious praise.
How then when risen and pure of heart
In heaven we see Thee as Thou art ?
O let the film of earth and sin
Each day by love grow clear and thin !
O let Thy worship done aright
Prepare us for the eternal Light !
Amen.
