To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I loved Him so ! — I worshipped so ! I knew So weU in inmost mind He could not die, And would not die, and was not less than God ; And should make good to all, in His good time, The meaning, and the means, and mystery ; And be that King they wrote Him on the scroll ; That while mine eyes ran tears too thick, to see His dear face, and my fingers clenched themselves Into my palms, as if they were the nails Piercing His hands ; I went not otherwise Than full-assured it would be well at last.
" Yet..., measure — if thy mind can measure this — How lost we stood, defeated, abject, shamed.
Those Twelve — with Judas one ; and all the rest Fled, at Gethsemane — and I ; and she Wbo bore Him ; and the women ministering ; And some poor, few, sad, fearful friends aloof 278 THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
Afraid to grieve, because of those stern spears ; Shut from the shaking Cross, whispering their woe Lest Galilaean country tongues bewray, And they be known — like Peter — for His sheep.
Only this left of those high-nourished dreams About the times to follow Galilee When He should sit upon His Kingdom's throne, And rule the land, and give to Israel — • The Eonian Eagles driven screaming off— Days of King David's majesty again, Solomon's splendours — more than Solomon's !
