Go, seek the blooming waste and open sky,
To flutter here? Thou hast no need of prayer.
What dost thou here, thou shining, sinless thing,
But thou art free from guilt as God on high;
Confessionals and agonies of prayer.
'Tis meet that we, who this great structure built,
With many colored hues and shapely wing?
Are come, with erring hearts and stains of sin.
Why quit the open field and summer air
For we this gilded edifice within
And leave us here our secret woes to bear,
Should come to be redeemed and washed from guilt,
