    Thine eyes shall see the light of distant skies:

    Such as upon thy glorious canvas lies;

    Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
    So I make an idle boast;
    Jesus of the twice-turned cheek
    Lamb of God, although I speak
    With my mouth thus, in my heart
    Do I play a double part.
    —Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

    Thou waitest late and com’st alone,
    When woods are bare and birds are flown,
    —William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
