Upcast with glory from God given,
And darkening downward from the Throne
He fell: nor bated yet the far terrestrial moan.
Then all the host of heav’n, amazed,
Cried, ‘Next let Wisdom go and prove
Himself and conquer.’ But he raised
His face and answer’d, ‘Heav’n above,
Like them, alone I fail; send with me Strength and Love.’
1882.
