O Christ our Light, Whom even in darkness we

(So we look up) discern and gaze upon,

O Christ, Thou loveliest Light that ever shone,

Thou Light of Light, Fount of all lights that be,

Grant us clear vision of Thy Light to see,

Tho' other lights elude us, or begone

Into the secret of oblivion,

Or gleam in places higher than man's degree.

Who looks on Thee looks full on his desire,

Who looks on Thee looks full on Very Love:

Looking, he answers well, " What lack I yet? "

His heat and cold wait not on earthly fire,

His wealth is not of earth to lose or get;

Earth reels, but he has stored his store above

Light of Light by Christina Rossetti

'The Summer Snow :by Sir Edward Jones, 1863

[a-little-bit-pre-raphaelite]

The hope I dreamed of was a dream,

Was but a dream; and now I wake

Exceeding comfortless, and worn, and old,

For a dream's sake.

I hang my harp upon a tree,

A weeping willow in a lake;

I hang my silenced harp there, wrung and snapt

For a dream's sake.

Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart;

My silent heart, lie still and break:

Life, and the world, and mine own self, are changed

For a dream's sake
