Psalm XCI. v. 1

Where is that secret place of the Most High ?
And who is He ? Where shall we look for Him
That dwelleth there ? Between the cherubim,
That o'er the seat of grace, with constant eye.
And outspread wing, brood everlastingly ?
Or shall we seek that deeper meaning dim,
And as we may, walk, flutter, soar, and swim,
From deep to deep of the void, fathomless sky ?
Oh ! seek not there the secret of the Lord
In what hath been, or what may never be ;
But seek the shadow of the mystic word —
The shadow of a truth thou canst not see :
There build thy nest, and, like a nestling bird,
Find all thy safety in thy secresy.
