The North Transept: The Psalms VII

From everlasting are His goings, this
Is the deep note, wherewith his widow'd Dove
Pleads, and her note of Sorrow blends with His.
Here, 'mid the unfailing citadels above,
His children walk with Him ; here with Him prove
Pilgrims on earth below, from age to age ;
Here, link'd in suffering, may they learn His love,
And hide their joys and sorrows in the page,
Wherein with Him He blends His ransom'd heritage.
