One sang in science; one served God in song;

Aquinas—Dante.” Slowly in me grew strong

A thought, “These two great minds in him are one;

‘Lord, what shall this man do?’” Later at Rome

Beside the dust of Peter and of Paul

Eight hundred mitred sires of Christendom

In Council sat. I mark’d him ’mid them all;

I thought of that long night in years gone by

And cried, “At last my question meets reply.”
