Holy of England! since my light is short
And faint, O rather by the sun anew
Of timeless passion set my dial true,
That with thy saints and thee I may consort,
And, wafted in the cool, enshadowed port
Of poets, seem a little sail long due,
And be...

   LORD, lead my heart to learn;

      Prepare my ears to hear;

   And let me useful knowledge seek,

     In thy most holy fear.


   If unforgiven sin

      Within my bosom lies,

   Or evil...
