ASCENSION DAY.
When Christ went up to Heaven the Apostles stayed Gazing at Heaven with souls and wills afire, Their hearts on flight along the tracks He made; Winged by desire. Nevertheless a cloud cut off their gaze: They tarry to build up Jerusalem, Watching for Him, while through the appointed days He watches them. They, do His Will, and doing it rejoice, Patiently glad to spend and to be spent: Still He speaks to them, still they hear His Voice And are content. For as a cloud received Him from their sight, So with a cloud will He return ere long; Therefore they stand on guard by day, by night, Strenuous and strong. They do, they dare, they beyqnd seven times seven Forgive, they cry God's mighty word aloud: Yet sometimes haply lift tired eyes to Heaven — "Is that His cloud?" — C. RosettL
