For coloured pebbles scattered on the earth

The while his fingers pointed to a sunrise;

Oh! sure I know your look again were mild,

For he was like a priest in whom a flame

Irradiant burns, and who, his god to honour,

Would kindle it within another’s bosom,

And when o’ermastered, passionately heedless

He bares of veil the Holy Mysteries

That stupored senses thus more swiftly waken

And idols false meet surer disenthronement,
