\nI thank Thee, Lord, for fingers, keys to hit<\/strong>\n
\nThe realm of glory is within our bounds,<\/strong>
\nInvisibility is simply seething<\/strong>
\nWith prospects heavenly on earthly grounds;<\/strong>
\nThough the centrific drumming of Christ’s heart<\/strong>
\nPervades the cosmos with persistent beat,<\/strong>
\nWithin this atmosphere is best His art<\/strong>
\nOf love made perfect by the Paraclete<\/strong>\n\t
\nI’ve treated human beings much as lepers,<\/strong>
\nFor this poetic justice may atone<\/strong>
\nMy way with God’s…<\/strong>\nI did not ever dream that I might go<\/strong>
\nAnd dwell amidst a flock of eighty such<\/strong>\n\n\t\tPanel 10\n\t<\/h2>\n\t
\nAnd the whole of creation rose up in the calm<\/strong>
\nTo praise the Lord on the height of heights<\/strong>
\nWhere the body stands while the soul delights<\/strong>\n\n\n\n\t
\nAnd chanting-goshawk, with exalted ease<\/strong>
\nRemind me of a motto – I refer<\/strong>
\nTo ‘Watch and Pray’ – on anything they please!<\/strong>\n
\nThat our all-loving God<\/strong>
\nWill ever look with scorn on love<\/strong>
\nMan bears for cat or dog?<\/strong>\n\t
\nLive lives like lives of saints…<\/strong>\nTheir comings in and goings out<\/strong>
\nThe Lord their Master keeps:<\/strong>
\nSing psalms I may and type but shout<\/strong>
\nNor stamp I’ll not lest reaps<\/strong>
\nUnpeaceful conduct such reward<\/strong>
\nAs much I’d merit if I spoiled accord…<\/strong>\nThese thirty thousand persons in my cell<\/strong>
\nBusy composing theirs could give me hell<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t![\"john_bradburne_memorial_door_02_02\"](\"http:\/\/fritillary.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/john_bradburne_memorial_door_02_02-279x1024.jpg\" "\\"john_bradburne_memorial_door_02_02\\"")

\nTempt more to evil, less augment your good<\/strong>\n
