HAVE come to the church and chancel, Where all's the same! —Brighter and larger in my dreams Truly it shaped than now, meseems, Is its substantial frame. But, anyhow, I made my vow, Whether for praise or blame, Here in this church and chancel Where all's the same.

Where touched the check-floored chancel My knees and his? The step looks shyly at the sun, And says, "'Twas here the thing was done, For bale or else for bliss!" Of all those there I least was ware Would it be that or this When touched the check-floored chancel My knees and his!
