English poem
IV.— THE PROTOTYPE.
by Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)
Lo, there, whence love, life, light are pour'd, Veil'd with impenetrable rays, Amidst the presence of the Lord Co-equal Wisdom laughs and plays. Female and male God made the man; His image is the whole, not half; And in our love we dimly scan The love which is between Himself.
