OF THE TRUE MARRIAGE
And many things of earth and heaven:
The Convent garden and the doves;
The western sky aflame at even;
The mountains and the orange groves;
The sea that moaned alway and prayed:
And yet the Lord God shook His head.
The Convent garden and the doves;
The western sky aflame at even;
The mountains and the orange groves;
The sea that moaned alway and prayed:
And yet the Lord God shook His head.
He said: "Lo, in thy city I see
A wife and husband, full of love,
Whose lives in loving harmony
Are set all death and change above.
I see: and leaning from my place,
I bless them in their hidden grace.
A wife and husband, full of love,
Whose lives in loving harmony
Are set all death and change above.
I see: and leaning from my place,
I bless them in their hidden grace.
"Whose love and peace and sweet accord
Comfort Me greatly," saith the Lord.
Comfort Me greatly," saith the Lord.
