(Angels of Growth! of old, in the surprise Of your first v...)
Angels of Growth! of old, in the surprise Of your first vision, wild and sweet, I poured in passionate sighs my wish unwise That ye descend my heart to meet, My heart so slow to rise! Now thus I pray: Angelic be to hold In heaven your shining poise afar, And to my wishes bold reply with cold Sweet invitation, like a star Fixed in the heavens old. Did ye descend, what were ye more than I? Is't not by this ye are divine That, native to the sky, ye cannot hie Downward and give low hearts the wine That should reward the high? Not to content our lowness, but to lure And lift us to your angelhood, Do your surprises pure dawn far and sure Above the tumult of our blood, And starlike there endure! Wait there, wait, and invite me while I climb; For, see, I come! but slow, but slow! Yet ever as your chime, soft and sublime, Lifts at my feet, they move, they go Up the great stair of time.
