Part One: Life
XXXVIII
| THROUGH the straight pass of suffering |
|
| The martyrs even trod, |
|
| Their feet upon temptation, |
|
| Their faces upon God. |
|
| |
| A stately, shriven company; |
5 |
| Convulsion playing round, |
|
| Harmless as streaks of meteor |
|
| Upon a plant’s bound. |
|
| |
| Their faith the everlasting troth; |
|
| Their expectation fair; |
10 |
| The needle to the north degree |
|
| Wades so, through polar air. |
