Warm with its fresh and immortal soul.
Scaled with the seal of eternal youth — God's presence revealed in simple truth !
1 tell you, here standing, this shall preach When Pope, priests, church, and the creed ye teach Have passed, like the heathen dreams, away.
And flowers take root in your haughty clay.
When a stranger, on the Appian road, May ask where Saint Peter's ruins stood; And a simple hind, who tills the soil O'er Kome's foundations, may pause from toil.
And say he knows not. Even then ...shall stand In the musing sti^nger's distant land.
THE IVORY CARVER. 85 Sculptured from bases to pediments With all that studious art invents, A temple of marble veined with gold, Built only this precious Christ to hold.
Air-spanning arches and columns broad, All stooping beneath their splendid load — ■ Wide-vaulted chambers whose frescoes rare People the solemn religious air With heavenly synods — and heavenly notes, Blown out from the organ's golden throats.
Shall rise, like a general voice, to tell Man's joy in yon ivory miracle.
