Page:A channel passage and other poems (IA channelpassageot00swinrich).pdf/79

 All the names wherein the incarnate Lord lived his day and died Fade from suns to stars, from stars into darkness undescried.

Christ the man lives yet, remembered of man as dreams that leave Light on eyes that wake and know not if memory bid them grieve. Fire sublime as lightning shines, and exults in thunder yet, Where the battle wields the name and the sword of Mahomet. Far above all wars and gospels, all ebb and flow of time, Lives the soul that speaks in silence, and makes mute earth sublime. Still for her, though years and ages be blinded and bedinned, Mazed with lightnings, crazed with thunders, life rides and guides the wind.
