Edward Dowden (18431913)185. A New Hymn for Solitude
I
As in some secret shrine;
I knelt, I waited for Thy word,
I joyed to name Thee mine.
To that or this; beside
Thy altar on my face I lay,
And in strong need I cried.
And therefore I rejoice,
I wait within no holy shrine,
I faint not for the voice.
Of heaven is Thine; blown free
To west, to east, the God unshrined
Is still discovering me.
