Our house-beams were of cedar. Come in, with boughs of may! The diapason deepened it—Before the darkness fall, We tell you He is risen again! Our God hath burst His prison again! Christ is risen, is risen again; and Love is Lord of all. 7 7 THE REPEAL I DREAMED the Eternal had repealed His cosmic code of law last night. Our prayers had made the Unchanging yield. Caprice was king from depth to height. On Beachy Head a shouting throng Had fired a beacon to proclaim Their licence. With unmeasured song They proved it, dancing in the flame. They quarrelled. One desired the sun, And one desired the stars to shine. They closed and wrestled and burned as one, And the white chalk grew red as wine.
