Excerpt from Planting the Cross at Sewanee and Other Poems The Cross on the Mount of Hope The winter day was bright, and blushing Morn, A-tip-toe rose to greet the up-risen Sun, Her eager bridegroom. Through the riven clouds, The sombre drapery of Night, he stole A side-long, loving glance, which wakened her. The early breeze those tattered curtains shook, And opened wide, when lo !the rosy Morn Appeared, and lighted up the scene. The shades Withdrew, but tremulous, essayed to rise And bend their dusky forms in adoration. Insensate man! God's first-day miracle Is wrought anew, as at creation's dawn, And every morning should command thy praise, "Let there be light!" Dear Lord, the fiat send Through minds chaotic, make them now to see The Sun of Righteousness, and darkness flee Away, and doubts, that shadow o'er the soul, Shall be transformed to Faith adoring, so Thy Church shall be the loving bride of Christ.
