<h2> THE VISION </h2>
<p>As one would stand who saw a sudden light<br/>
Flood down the world, and so encompass him<br/>
And in that world illumined Seraphim<br/>
Brooded above and gladdened to his sight;<br/>
<br/>
So stand I in the flame of one great thought,<br/>
That broadens to my soul from where she waits,<br/>
Who, yesterday, drew wide the inner gates<br/>
Of all my being to the hopes I sought.<br/>
<br/>
Her words come to me like a summer-song,<br/>
Blown from the throat of some sweet nightingale;<br/>
I stand within her light the whole day long,<br/>
<br/>
And think upon her till the white stars fail:<br/>
I lift my head towards all that makes life wise,<br/>
And see no farther than my lady’s eyes.<br/></p>
