De Profundis
“Although 1 cannot fee the twinkling stars Through all the brightness of the noonday glare, As, on my way, I look towards Heaven’s bars, I ‘know’ that they are there. “Yet, when in subterranean depths, I ga.ee Through darkly-circling vistas from below, The glamour of the sun’s meridian rays Is lost, and 10l stars glow! “So, zvhen in Error’s labyrinths I tread, And stumble in its dark, primeval night, I knozv that, glorious o’er my drooping head, There breaks Diznner Light!” —Allan IVI acnkill, in “Oxford Times.”
