Alfred Tennyson

“ Draw me, thy bride, a glittering star,
In raiment white and clean.
He lifts me to the golden doors;
The flashes come and go;
All heaven bursts her starry floors,
And strows her lights below,
And deepens on and up! the gates
Roll back and far within
For me the heavenly bridegroom waits,
To make me pure of sin.
The Sabbaths of Eternity,
One Sabbath deep and wide-
A light upon the shining sea-
The Bridegroom with his bride!
