In Memoriam A.H.H.
Tho’
truths in manhood darkly join,
Deep-seated in our mystic frame,
We yield all blessing to the name
Of
Him that made them current coin;
For
Wisdom dealt with mortal powers,
Where truth in closest words shall fail,
When truth embodied in a tale
Shall
enter in at lowly doors.
And
so the Word had breath, and wrought
With human hands the creed of creeds
In loveliness of perfect deeds,
More
strong than all poetic thought;
Which
he may read that binds the sheaf,
Or builds the house, or digs the grave,
And those wild eyes that watch the wave
In
roarings round the coral reef.
