Christina Rossetti: Judge Not According to the Appearance
Lord, purge our eyes to see
Within the seed a tree,
Within the glowing egg a bird,
Within the shroud a butterfly:
Till taught by such, we see
Beyond all creatures, Thee,
And hearken for Thy tender word,
And hear it, 'Fear not: it is I.'
Within the seed a tree,
Within the glowing egg a bird,
Within the shroud a butterfly:
Till taught by such, we see
Beyond all creatures, Thee,
And hearken for Thy tender word,
And hear it, 'Fear not: it is I.'
