“Two hours or more before the spring of day,

As I within me mused how poor and leer

This world, and as in pain I waking lay,

Thought upon all the happy souls, that here

Once suffered, but are now exempt from fear

And pain and wrong, there woke within my breast

A speechless longing for that heavenly rest.

XXXIII.

“Mine eyes were steadfastly towàrd the wall

Turned, when I saw a wondrous vision there;
