From there<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The silver trumpets rang across the Dome:
\nThe people knelt upon the ground with awe:
\nAnd borne upon the necks of men I saw,
\nLike some great God, the Holy Lord of Rome.
\nPriest-like, he wore a robe more white than foam,
\nAnd, king-like, swathed himself in royal red,
\nThree crowns of gold rose high upon his head:
\nIn splendour and in light the Pope passed home.
\nMy heart stole back across wide wastes of years
\nTo One who wandered by a lonely sea,
\nAnd sought in vain for any place of rest:
\n‘Foxes have holes, and every bird its nest.
\nI, only I, must wander wearily,
\nAnd bruise my feet, and drink wine salt with tears.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

"Tell us, Mary: say what thou didst see upon the way.
The tomb the Living did enclose;
I saw Christ's glory as he rose!" (from the Easter Sequence)#EasterAtHome<\/a>
