Stately, kindly, lordly friend
Condescend
Here to sit by me.

Astrophel and Other Poems (1894)

Not from without us, only from within,
Comes or can ever come upon us light
Whereby the soul keeps ever truth in sight.
No truth, no strength, no comfort man may win,
No grace for guidance, no release from sin,
Save of his own soul's giving.
