Of duty grown divine, Of sorrows taught to shine, O God! the pure alone, ANONYMOUS, 1873. Hymns of Praise and Prayer. IDEALS. ANGELS of Growth, of old in that surprise That Of your first vision, wild and sweet, I poured in passionate sighs My wish unwise ye descend my heart to meet, – Now thus I pray: Angelic be to hold Reply with cold, Sweet invitation, like a star Fixed in the heavens old. Did ye descend, what were ye more than I? That, native to the sky, Ye cannot hie Downward, and give low hearts the wine Weak, yet in weakness I no more complain Oh, still, howe'er my pain Wild prayers may rain, Keep pure on high the perfect graces, Not to content our lowness, but to lure Dawn far and sure Above the tumult of young blood, And starlike there endure. Wait there, wait, and invite me while I climb; For, see, I come! - but slow, but slow! Yet ever as your chime, Soft and sublime, Lifts at my feet, they move, they go Up the great stair of time.
