  • God keeps a niche
    In Heaven, to hold our idols; and albeit
    He brake them to our faces, and denied
    That our close kisses should impair their white,--
    I know we shall behold them raised, complete,
    The dust swept from their beauty, glorified,
    New Memnons singing in the great God-light.
