Even so cast off the soul its garments of earth ; and with one voiou Chimed in the congregation, and sang an anthem immortal Of the sublime Wallin, of David's harp in the North-land Tuned to the choral of Luther ; the song on its powerful pinions Took every living soul, and lifted it gently to heaven, And every face did shine like the Holy One's face upon Tabor. Lo ! there entered then into the church the Reverend Teacher. Father he hight and he was in the parish ; a christianly plainness Cloth...ed from his head to his feet the old man of seventy winters. Friendly was he to behold, and glad as the heralding angel Walked he among the crowds, but still a contemplative grandeur Lay on his forehead as clear, as on moss-covered grave-stone a sunbeam. As in his inspiration (an evening twilight that faintly Qieams in the human soul, even now, from the day of creation) Th' Artist, the friend of Heaven, imagines Saint John when in Patmos, Grey, with his eyes uplifted to heaven, so seemed then the old man ; Such was the glance of his eye, and such were his tresses of silver.
