The conscious water saw its God, and blushed—
in reference to the miracle at Cana, occurs with a change in Mr. Hawker’s verses, with reference to the Last Supper:—
The selfsame cup, wherein the faithful wine
Heard God, and was obedient unto blood.
After the loss of the Holy Grail:—
The land is lonely now: Anathema.
The link that bound it to the silent grasp
Of thrilling worlds is gathered up and gone:
The glory is departed, and the disk
So full of radiance from the touch of God.
