Classic Poem

But how shall this be gained? By fervent prayer —
" In season, out of season, in prayer " be
" Instant, " th' Apostle saith. First station there —
In yon bright mansion of eternity,
Thy heart's chief loves, and thou wilt quickly see,
With spiritual eye, far clearer than on earth,
To the natural eye — with more reality —
Than to that eye those forms which here have birth,
Objects surpassing man's weak powers to body forth!
