Living
With Digby's "Ages of Faith"
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
I am not learned in such lore divine;
Take it: in scenes which other thoughts invade,
It may one hour cast round a cooler shade,
Yet darken not that gentle breast of thine.
It tells of Peace, and those she call'd to dwell
Apart with her, when desperate Sin opprest
The struggling Earth; it can not reach thy breast,
But troubles may; so take this holy spell.
