<span class="i0">Between us and the starred vasts overhead<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Broad-builded roofs we spread,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Thus shutting from our view the wonders high<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Of the clear midnight sky;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Yet all our roofs make not more faint or far<br/></span>
<span class="i0">One ray of one dim star.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Our souls build o’er them roofs of dread and doubt,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">And think they shut God out;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Yet all the while, remembering though forgot,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">That vast Love, changing not,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Abides, and, spite of all our faithless fear,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Shines nevermore less near.<br/></span>
