EAGER THAT HEAVENLY FOREST TO SURVEY, ...
... I LEFT THE ROCKY BOUND,
AND THERE APPEARED TO ME ...
A LADY ALL ALONE: WHO ROVED ABOUT
SINGING, AS SHE SELECTED FLOWER FROM FLOWER,
WITH WHICH HER PATHWAY PAINTED WAS THROUGHOUT ...
LIKE TO A LADY TURNING IN THE DANCE,
FOOT BEFORE FOOT FROM EARTH SO SLIGHTLY MOVED,
THAT SCARCE PERCEPTIBLE IS HER ADVANCE;—
... TO ME SHE TURNED AROUND, ...
“THE STREAMS THOU SEE’ST SPRING NOT FROM EARTHLY VEIN, ...
BUT ISSUE FROM A NEVER-FAILING SOURCE,
REPLENISHED BY THE WILL OF GOD ...
ON THIS HAND, ABLE—SUCH THE POWER ASSIGNED—
TO TAKE AWAY THE MEMORY OF SIN;
ON THAT—TO CALL EACH VIRTUOUS DEED TO MIND:
THIS, LETHE NAMED—THAT EUNÖE.” ...
AS THOUGH BY LOVE INSPIRED—HER HEAVENLY LAY
TO ITS LAST CADENCE SANG THAT LADY FAIR:
“BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE SINS ARE WASHED AWAY.”
