living bowers
      spread&stand
      cold&dark
      leaf&bark
on which
    the light  
        might shine

a sense
          of Spring
with
      silent stealth
      calm&bright
      in
      height&shade
of
living streams
            come near

through
     sphere&incline
a constant
source
     of many
            showers
all noise&breath
and
signs of wind
      did then
                     enfold
shining spires
bliss effable
true liberty
        did once appear
with
     speech
               &
                   tongue

ran to speak
       with
          inward meaning
in love's 
descent
           then
              sent a voice
of
kind encouragement

there to shine
into
     passion's mind
that
     still voice
             of eternity

a soft sacred
                   call
here
below
       few
         scarce know

but
in song
           made
              sure
with
passionate
cry
        love
          did thus
come near
a
sacred
         way
through
          sweat&
                agony
