OCTAVES IN A GARDEN: 21. ST. PAUL'S, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: One time from that grey close I did emerge
Last Line: Of healing virtue, round the minster's verge.
Subject(s): St. Paul's Cathedral, London


ONE time from that grey close I did emerge
Wherethrough I had been toiling, and to me,
Like some benignant rock above the sea,
St. Paul's great brow above the mist and surge
Loomed kindly, and methought did kindly urge
All men up to it, till there came to be
A hush on hearts, a deep tranquillity
Of healing virtue, round the minster's verge.
