Poems (Jordan)/St. Peter's
ST. PETER'S(Rome)
As a spider doth draw from itself for its home;
Bearing thence all supplies that it needs;
So the builder who fashioned St. Peter's in Rome,
From himself hath wrought rather than creeds;
His soul drew on God; as the work on his soul—
As co-laborers thus are they shown—
And the human half thought thus Divinely made whole,
Is expressed in this Temple of stone!
Bearing thence all supplies that it needs;
So the builder who fashioned St. Peter's in Rome,
From himself hath wrought rather than creeds;
His soul drew on God; as the work on his soul—
As co-laborers thus are they shown—
And the human half thought thus Divinely made whole,
Is expressed in this Temple of stone!
