To gaze upon a suffering God!

Well may the temple-shrine grow dim,

And shadows veil the Cherubim,

When He, the chosen One of Heaven,

A sacrifice for guilt is given!

J. G. Whittier.

When bees sing chorus in the light,

Of infant day in joy begun,

And sparkling dewdrops clear and bright

Mirror the full uprising sun,
