Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Well in the Valley Childhood. Chief of heaven´s beauteous band, there come to view Three sisters, which above their fellows shine, Towering in grace and majesty divine: In order first, in lineaments and hue, Faith, to her royal standard ever true, Leading on high their bright and order´d line, And raising with firm hand her Master´s sign; Around her throne a stole of heavenly blue, The cross her sceptre, and her robe the sky. Hope, too, is there, with heaven-communing face, Fair Hope, her silver anchor fix´d on high: - And saffron-robed descending Charity, With little children in her loved embrace, Leaning from heaven with heaven-inviting grace. Childhood in God´s own temple ever found; - As when the lamps of eve their shadows flung, And Samuel heard the awful voice profound; - Or when the temple with hosannas rung. And Christ was welcomed by the infant tongue! Yea, Christ himself is seen, a holy child. Sitting his heavenly Father´s courts among. Then what, 0 Lord, ´mong men by sin defiled. Is for thy temple meet as childhood undefiled? Sweet childhood! shadow of celestial love! Train´d to look up and hold a parent´s hand And ever lift the eye to one above; - Which knows not yet, while it obeys command; - Hopes all, and all believes. Elysian land! Drinking the air of immortality It sheds o´er earth a gleam of paradise. It is a precious sight, which angels view In trembling joy and hope; immortal love Hangs o´er it, watching every opening hue. Since many such on this bad earth may prove Meet for God´s golden house in highest heaven above About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
