No man saw awe, nor to his house
From Wikisource
| ←My life closed twice before its close — (1732) | No man saw awe, nor to his house by 1733 |
(1734) Oh, honey of an hour,→ |
No man saw awe, nor to his house
Admitted he a man
Though by his awful residence
Has human nature been.
Not deeming of his dread abode
Till laboring to flee
A grasp on comprehension laid
Detained vitality.
Returning is a different route
The Spirit could not show
For breathing is the only work
To be enacted now.
"Am not consumed," old Moses wrote,
"Yet saw him face to face" —
That very physiognomy
I am convinced was this.
