Bronze so ennobled, so with glory fraught

That the tired eyes must weep with joy to see

And the tired mind in Beauty’s net be caught.

Come enter there, and meet To-morrow’s Man,

Communing with him softly day by day.

Ah, the deep vistas he reveals, the dream

Of angel-bands in infinite array—

Bright angel-bands, that dance in paths of earth

When our despairs are gone, long overpast—

When men and maidens give fair hearts to Christ
