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!
