        These things the seer Isaiah did befall:
        In spirit he beheld the Lord of all
        On a high throne, raised up in splendor bright,
        His garment's border filled the choir with light.
        Beside him stood two seraphim which had
        Six wings, wherewith they both alike were clad;
        With twain they hid their shining with twain
        They hid their feet as with a flowing train,
        And with the other twain they both did fly.
        One to the other thus aloud did cry:
        "Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth!
        Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth!
        Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth!
        His glory filleth all the trembling earth!"
        With the loud cry the posts and thresholds shook,
        And the whole house was filled with mist and smoke.
