Benedight

When we had reached the Angel benedight With joyful voice he said: "Here enter in To stairway far less steep than are the others."

Never through martyrdom of fire was led To its repose; nor can in books be read The legend of a life more benedight.

How fondly I remember the delight That always glorified him in the spring; The joyous profusion and the benedight Profusion of his faith in everything!
