- Sometimes a lantern moves along the night,
- That interests our eyes. And who goes there?
- I think; where from and bound, I wonder, where,
- With, all down darkness wide, his wading light?
- Men go by me whom either beauty bright
- In mould or mind or what not else makes rare:
- They rain against our much-thick and marsh air
- Rich beams, till death or distance buys them quite.
- Death or distance soon consumes them: wind
- What most I may eye after, be in at the end
- I cannot, and out of sight is out of mind.
- Christ minds: Christ’s interest, what to avow or amend
- There, éyes them, heart wánts, care haúnts, foot
- fóllows kínd,
- Their ránsom, théir rescue, ánd first, fást, last friénd.
