THE LATTICE AT SUNRISE. - ZaunköniG - 28.10.2007
THE LATTICE AT SUNRISE.
AS on my bed at dawn I mused and prayed,
I saw my lattice prankt upon the wall,
The flaunting leaves and flitting birds withal-
A sunny phantom interlaced with shade ;
'Thanks be to heaven !' in happy mood I said,
'What sweeter aid my matins could befall
Than this fair glory from the East hath made ?
What holy sleights hath God, the Lord of all,
To bid us feel and see ! we are not free
To say we see not, for the glory comes
Nightly and daily, like the flowing sea ;
His lustre pierceth through the midnight glooms ;
And, at prime hour, behold ! He follows me
With golden shadows to my secret rooms !
