    Near, so very near to God,
    Nearer I cannot be;
    For in the person of his Son
    I am as near as he.
    So dear, so very dear to God,
    More dear I cannot be;
    The love wherewith he loves the Son -
    Such is his love to me.

Into the woods, my Master went,
Clean forspent, forspent,
Into the woods my Master came,
Forspent with love and shame.
But the olives they were not blind to Him,
The little gray leaves were kind to Him:
The thorn-tree had a mind to Him,
When into the woods He came.

A pagan heart, a Christian soul had he.
He followed Christ, yet for dead Pan he sighed,
As if Theocritus in Sicily
Had come upon the Figure crucified,
And lost his gods in deep, Christ-given rest.

The world has grown gray from thy breath;
We have drunken from things Lethean,
And fed on the fullness of death.

And so the Word had breath, and wrought
With human hands the creed of creeds
In loveliness of perfect deeds,
More strong than all poetic thoughts;
Which he may read that binds the sheaf,
Or builds the house, or digs the grave,
And those wild eyes that watch the waves
In roarings round the coral reef.

For whose sweete sake that glorious badge he wore.
