Art gave, beyond her own devout control;

And Light upon thy seeing, suffering soul

Hath wrought a sign for many journeying;

Our sign. As up a wayside, after rain,

When the blown beeches purple all the height

And clouds sink to the sea-marge, suddenly

The autumn sun (how soft, how solemn-bright!)

Moves to the vacant dial, so is lain

God’s meaning Hand, thou chosen, upon thee.
