I rose — because He sank —
I thought it would be opposite —
But when his power dropped —
My Soul grew straight.
I cheered my fainting Prince —
I sang firm — even — Chants —
I helped his Film — with Hymn —
And when the Dews drew off
That held his Forehead stiff —
I met him —
Balm to Balm —
I told him Best — must pass
Through this low Arch of Flesh —
No Casque so brave
It spurn the Grave —
I told him Worlds I knew
Where Emperors grew —
Who recollected us
If we were true —
And so with Thews of Hymn —
And Sinew from within —
And ways I knew not that I knew — till then —
I lifted Him —
