GHAZELES: 4. TO --- --- by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEREVER BEAUTY IS, I FIND THEE THERE
Last Line: THERE, HUMBLE HOLINESS! I FIND THEE THERE.
WHEREVER Beauty is, I find thee there, --
Through every veil and guise, I find thee there:
Where the low zephyr dreams among thick flowers,
Embalmer of sweet thoughts! I find thee there;
Where full cascades leap down with curved steps,
Form of essential Grace! I find thee there;
In the broad mirror of the summer-sea,
Crystal entire of Truth! I find thee there;
In the unshaded presence of the sun,
Illuminating Mind! I find thee there;
In the mild splendours which enjoy the night,
Radiance of gentlest Love! I find thee there;
In the ecstatic realms that Prayer reveals,
There, Humble Holiness! I find thee there.
