" The Chantry Of The Cherubim http://www.bartleby.com/236/219.html" in The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse (1917) by D. H. S. Nicholson. <br class="br">Context: p>I walk as one unclothed of flesh,<br>I wash my spirit clean;<br>I see old miracles afresh,<br>And wonders yet unseen.<br>I will not leave Thee till Thou give<br>Some word whereby my soul may live!I listened — but no voice I heard;<br>I looked — no likeness saw;<br>Slowly the joy of flower and bird<br>Did like a tide withdraw;<br>And in the heaven a silent star<br>Smiled on me, infinitely far.</p
