To bring the seeker safely to thy side.’
Thus spake this human figure oft to me;
Nor could I fathom what the words might mean;
And yet a dim foreboding made me glad,
That some time they should be fulfilled for me.
And then, beloved brother, thou didst come,
And when I first set eyes upon thy face,
I felt my senses leave me; for thou wast
That human figure’s very counterpart.
Thomas:
