I. This woman, with the dear child-heart,
Ye mourn as dead, is-where and what?
With faith as artless as her Art,
I question not,-
But dare divine, and feel, and know
Her blessedness-as hath been writ
In allegory. -Even so
I fashion it: -
II. A stately figure, rapt and awed
In her new guise of Angelhood,
Still lingered, wistful-knowing God
Was very good. -
Her thought's fine whisper filled the pause;
And, listening, the Master smiled,
And lo! the stately angel was
-A little child.
