In a larger world than thine.

Soft Petrarca, sweet and subtle,

Weaving still, with silver shuttle,

Moony veils for human feeling—

Thine the radiance from above,

Half-transfiguring, half-concealing,

Wounds and tears of earthly love.

Saxon rude, of thundering stammer,

Iron heart, by sin's dread hammer

Ground to better dust than golden,
