Bride of the Dove is she; and thou, her spouse,

Shalt guard her for her Spouse.” Whereat I woke,

Astonished: and to find, upon the morrow,

That one of the rods had budded in the night—

Budded and blossom’d; and that rod was mine!

SINGS:

Though the dream brought me peace, there is mystery still:

But in time He will solve it, the Lord of my love.

’Tis enough that I know I am wedding His will—

Beheld in this maiden, the “Bride of the Dove.”
