Scattering, destroying,—yea since finisheth
All things, or death, or marring grief, or change;
Since this is, this must needs Thy purpose be,
Through such dark doors to win Thy works to Thee.

Pureness of pale moon, loneness of far skies,
Splendour of starry regions & bright sun,
Grandeur of universal vastnesses,
Sweetness of flower, staunchness of stalwart tree,
Delicacy of small verdures ev’ry one,
