| O LIVING pictures of the dead, | |
| O songs without a sound, | |
| O fellowship whose phantom tread | |
| Hallows a phantom ground— | |
| How in a gleam have these revealed | 5 |
| The faith we had not found. | |
| |
| We have sought God in a cloudy Heaven, | |
| We have passed by God on earth: | |
| His seven sins and his sorrows seven, | |
| His wayworn mood and mirth, | 10 |
| Like a ragged cloak have hid from us | |
| The secret of his birth. | |
| |
| Brother of men, when now I see | |
| The lads go forth in line, | |
| Thou knowest my heart is hungry in me | 15 |
| As for thy bread and wine; | |
| Thou knowest my heart is bowed in me | |
| To take their death for mine. | |
