for whose wrath I sold myself to Rabbi Caiaphas. Yet blows this breeze as tender on my cheek As if 'twere hers of Magdal, who hath sinned And lives the sweetlier ! Yon all-seeing Sun, Hastening above the verge, dips not again To mark me standing in the waves He loved ! Those waves, with wet lips, kiss my wrongful foot, The blind blooms waft me fragrance ! Wherefore fear ? Why tremble ? Yet, a Son of Heaven ! a King ! Would I had heard His answer ! Would I knew What portion mine must prove, if t...hese things grow And Rome should pass, and huge Olympus' self Be emptied of its Gods ! " Thereat He turned MARY MAGDALENE. LOI To stride his snorting war-horse ; and the Day Broadened in glory over Galilee, Forgetting no man's roof ; giv'n out of Heaven Alike to all, to warm and comfort all. And, in the whispering palms, and waving grass. Once more that lovely promise seemed to sound : Hearts of all upon earth From the first to the second birth TO rest as the wild waters rest With the colors of heaven on their breast.
