I saw thee once and nought discern’d + 

For stranger to admire; + 

A serious aspect, but it burn’d + 

With no unearthly fire. + 

Again I saw, and I confess’d + 

Thy speech was rare and high; + 

And yet it vex’d my burden’d breast, + 

And scared, I knew not why. + 

I saw once more, and awe-struck gazed + 

On face, and form, and air; + 

God’s living glory round thee blazed⁠— + 

A Saint⁠—a Saint was there! + 
