Versi

    How he sleepeth!

    Vision unto vision calleth,
        While the young child dreameth on.
    Fair, O dreamer, thee befalleth
        With the glory thou hast won!
Darker wert thou in the garden, yestermorn, by summer sun.

    We should see the spirits [rising]
        Round thee,—were the clouds away.
    'Tis the child-heart draws them, singing
        In the silent-seeming clay.
Singing!—stars that seem the mutest, go in music music all the way.

    Softly, softly! make no noises!
        Now he lieth [still] and dumb.
    Now he hears the angels' voices
        Folding silence in the room.
Now he muses deep the meaning of the Heaven-words as they come.

    He is harmless—[we] are sinful.
        [We] are troubled—he, at ease.
    From his slumber, virtue winful
        Floweth outward with increase.
Dare not bless him! but be blessèd by his peace—and go in peace.^[3]
