ALTHOUGH I enter not,Yet round about the spot

Oftimes I hover;And near the sacred gate,With longing eyes I wait,

Expectant of her.

The minster bell tolls^outAbove the city's routAnd noise and hutnming;

They've hushed the minster bell;,The organ 'gins to swell;

She's coming, coming!

My lady comes at last,Timid. and stepping fastAnd hastening hither,

With modest eyes downcast;She comes.she's here.she's past!May h.eaven go with her!

Kneel undisturbed, fair saint!Pour.out your praise or'plaint

Meekly and dulyjI will not enter there,To sully your pure' prayerWith thoughts u'nruly.

But suffer me to paceRound the forbidden place,

Lingering a minute,Like outcast spirits who wait.And see, through Heaven's gate,Angels within.it.
