Transubstantiation

I.

  A sunbeam and a drop of dew
  Lay on a red rose in the South:
  God took the three and made her mouth,
  Her sweet, sweet mouth,
  So red of hue,--
  The burning baptism of His kiss
  Still fills my heart with heavenly bliss.


  II.

  A dream of truth and love come true
  Slept on a star in daybreak skies:
  God mingled these and made her eyes,
  Her dear, dear eyes,
  So gray of hue,--
  The high communion of His gaze
  Still fills my soul with deep amaze.
