Rh Yet, deignest Thou to sojourn in the world, Only a human soul is Thine abode, As Luther, man and servitor of God, Or Melanchthon, who is Thy wisdom's bee.

My tortured Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest come beneath my roof. But Thou, O Love, yet graciously approachest. In Most wondrous moments do I feel that Thou Dost take Thine ease amid the chamber of My spirit; with mine eyes Thou gazest. Thou Vouchsafest gently with my breath to breathe.

Wherefore to Thy most hallowed head I dare To give my lineaments, most gracious Lord! “The Apostles” (1911).
