In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.
There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”

“And life must be hastening away;
You are cheerful, and love to converse upon death:
Now tell me the reason, I pray.”

“Let the cause thy attention engage;
In the days of my youth I remembered my God,
And He hath not forgotten my age.””

From these sweet-springing meads and bursting boughs of May,
Dream, while the innumerable choir of day
Welcome the dawn.”
