All Circumstances are
the Frame
In which His Face is set -
All Latitudes exist for His
Sufficient Continent -
The Light His Action, and
the Dark
The Leisure of His Will -
In Him Existence serve
or set
A Force illegible.
A Shade opon the
mind there passes
As when on Noon
A Cloud the mighty
Sun encloses
Remembering
That some there be
too numb to notice
Oh God
Why give if Thou
must take away
The Loved?
