grieve Not now; O Father! now it mounts; it flies; To join the true self in 

thy heart that waits; And; one with it; be one with all the heavenly mates。 

     21。 

     Trusting thee; Christ; I kneel; and clasp thy knee; Cast myself down; 

and kiss thy brother…feet One self thou and the Father's thought of thee! 

Ideal    son;  thou   hast   left  the  perfect   home;    Ideal  brother;   to  seek   thy 

brothers come! Thou know'st our angels all; God's children sweet; And of 

each two wilt make one holy child complete。 

     22。 

     To a slow end I draw these daily words; Nor think such words often to 

write again Rather; as light the power to me affords; Christ's new and old 

would to my friends unbind; Through words he spoke help to his thought 

behind; Unveil the heart with which he drew his men; Set forth his rule 

o'er devils; animals; corn; and wind。 

     23。 

     I do remember how one time I thought; 〃God must be lonelyoh; so 

lonely lone! I will be very good to himah; nought Can reach the heart of 

his great loneliness! My whole heart I will bring him; with a moan That I 

may   not   come   nearer;   I   will   lie   prone   Before   the   awful   loveliness   in

loneliness' excess。〃 

     24。 

     A God must have a God for company。 And lo! thou hast the Son…God 

to thy friend。 Thou honour'st his obedience; he thy law。 Into thy secret life… 

will he doth see; Thou fold'st him round in live love perfectly One two; 

without beginning; without end; In love; life; strength; and truth; perfect 

without a flaw。 

     25。 

     Thou     hast  not   made;    or  taught   me;   Lord;    to  care  For   times    and 

seasonsbut this one glad day Is the blue sapphire clasping all the lights 

That flash in the girdle of the year so fair When thou wast born a man; 

because alway Thou wast and art a man; through all the flights Of thought; 

and time; and thousandfold creation's play。 

     26。 

     We   all   are   lonely;   Makereach   a   soul   Shut   in   by   itself;   a   sundered 

atom of thee。 No two yet loved themselves into a whole; Even when we 

weep together we are two。 Of two to make one; which yet two shall be; Is 

thy   creation's   problem;   deep;   and   true;   To   which   thou   only   hold'st   the 

happy; hurting clue。 

     27。 

     No less than thou; O Father; do we need A God to friend each lonely 

one of us。 As touch not in the sack two grains of seed; Touch no two hearts 

in great worlds populous。 Outside the making God we cannot meet Him he 

has made our brother: homeward; thus; To find our kin we first must turn 

our wandering feet。 

     28。 

     It must be possible that the soul made Should absolutely meet the soul 

that makes; Then; in that bearing soul; meet every other There also born; 

each sister and each brother。 Lord; till I meet thee thus; life is delayed; I 

am not I until that morning breaks; Not I until my consciousness eternal 

wakes。 

     29。 

     Again I shall behold thee; daughter true; The hour will come when I 

shall hold   thee   fast   In   God's   name;  loving   thee   all through   and through。

Somewhere in his grand thought this waits for us。 Then shall I see a smile 

not like thy last For that great thing which came when all was past; Was 

not a smile; but God's peace glorious。 

     30。 

     Twilight   of   the   transfiguration…joy;   Gleam…faced;   pure…eyed;   strong… 

willed; high…hearted boy! Hardly thy life clear forth of heaven was sent; 

Ere it broke out into a smile; and went。 So swift thy growth; so true thy 

goalward bent; Thou; child and sage inextricably blent; Wilt one day teach 

thy father in some heavenly tent 

     31。 

     Go;   my   beloved   children;   live   your   life。   Wounded;   faint;   bleeding; 

never yield the strife。 Stunned; fallen…awake; arise; and fight again。 Before 

you victory stands; with shining train Of hopes not credible until they are。 

Beyond morass and mountain swells the star Of perfect lovethe home of 

longing heart and brain 



                                               74
