    Through the blizzard snow unseen,
    All unharmed by hail of lead,
    With a step like snow so light,

    Crowned in wreath of roses white,
    Christ leads onward as they go.”

    We went from the high gate away
    To a black hill the other side of men
    Where one wild stag stared
    At the going day.”
