Nay, he stood on the shore, and his eyes beamed
on me; while the ghastly wounds that I once strove in anguish to staunch
shone out like a ruby cross on his breast--the hands, that were so sorely
gashed, were to me as though marked by the impress of the Sacred Wounds.
He spake not; but by his side stood King Henry, beautiful and
spirit-like, and smiled on me, and seemed as though he pointed to the
wounds, as he said, "Blessed is the king who died by his people's hand,
for withstanding his people's sin! Blessed is every faint image of the
true King!"

'Then methought they held out their arms to me; and I would have come to
them on their shore of rest, but the river bore me away--and I looked up,
to find I was as yet only in the earthly Jerusalem; but I watch for them
every hour, to call me once and for ever.'
