WORTH MALTRAVERS, 



I subjoin a translation in modern English of St. Aldlielm^^ 

 vei*sion of Psalm Ixxxiv. ver. 1 — 5. 



"Lord to me thy minsters are ■ 



Courts of honour passing fair ; 

 And my spirit deems it well 

 There to be, and there to dwell ;— 

 Heart and flesh would fain be there, 

 Lord, thy life, thy love to share. 



Tliere the sparrow speeds her home 

 And in time the turtles come, 

 Safe their nestling young they rear. 

 Lord of Hosts, thine altars near ; 

 Dear to them thy peace ; but more 

 To the souls who there adore." 



r. F. TEACY.
