And hung with veils of pearly fleece:
They died away into the gloom,
Vistas of peace—and deeper peace.
In awe and breathless silence stood;
For One who passed into their choir
Linked them in mystic brotherhood.

Where was the secret spirit hid?
Where was Thy place, O Light of Lights?
Where rose the fire: in Thee? in Me?
Which bowed the elemental race
To adoration silently?
