The North Transept: The Psalms XXVII

He sang of the commandments just and good,
Sole rest of man below and joy above :
And oft his earthly weeds at Siloa's flood,
Rent by turmoils with which his spirit strove,
He wash'd in streams of all-pervading Love,
And put on garments of celestial Praise.
Then was God's Presence seen in all that move,
As when the sun, all arm'd with glittering rays,
Comes forth from night's dark tent, and o'er Heaven's archway strays.
