These wondrous awful temples snow to man The secrets of the Mason ' s cunning craft , Great Norman arch on triple-bearing shaft , Saxon , and perpendicular with span Far lesser , choirs where first the song began ,
That soars through transept and long aisle to wave The rolling sound , where windows richly dight Admit a sombre and religious light , Falling through saint decked pane upon the nave ,, Embossed with strange device , of noble height , Where the cathedral robin loves to rest , And taking up the organ ' s note thrills higher Than choral voices in the rich carved choir , Singing of love that reigns within its breast .
