CCCXVIII AT MATINS
Heaven in the depth and height is seen;
On high among the stars, and low
In deep clear waters: all between
Is earth, and tastes of earth: ev'n so
The Almighty One draws near
To strongest seraphs there, to weakest infants here.
GOD's Angels keep the eternal round
Of praise on high, and never tire.
His lambs are in His Temple found
Early, with all their hearts' desire.
They boast not to be free, --
They grudge not to their LORD meek ear and bended knee.
