Thou art not only fair and sweet as Spring;

Terror and beauty, fear and wondering

Meet on thy front, amazing all who see:

All men do praise thee, ay, and everything!

Thou art my Lord to whom I bend the knee!

I fear thee, though I love. Who can behold

The sheer sun burning in the orbèd blue,

What while the noontide over hill and wold

Flames like a fire, except his mazèd view

Wither and tremble? So thy splendid sight
