Struck blind by all those falling doubts, I singWords without sound set in a songOf inward harmony—Damascus comes,Into the narrow streets of which I grope,Feeling the stones; a chosen vessel nowAwaiting that renewal of the light

A silent angel messageComes to the waiting heart;A tender ever-presenceThat bids all doubt depart.
