Analysis of Praise
Praise; be to hearts dark as light!
Praise; be night, hot as the days!
Praise; be the steps grace lead tight!
Praise; be war, found dead in bays!
Praise; be snakes that keen do frown!
Praise; be flutes like a harp framed!
Praise; be the weight dressed in gowns!
Praise; be the gnash low not named!
Praise; be the cool June we hold!
Praise; be the woods twist and turns!
Praise; be the sage calm and bold!
Praised be them all, do not spurn!
Praised be the streams that glint far
so I may lo, once more stars!
