Revelation

Someone leaping from the rocks Past me ran with windblown locks Like a startled bright surmise Visible to mortal eyes, --

Just a cheek of frightened rose That with sudden beauty glows, Just a footstep like the wind And a hurried glance behind, And then nothing, -- as a thought Escapes the mind ere it is caught.

Someone of the heavenly rout From behind the veil ran out.
