Christina Rossetti — The Master is Come and Calleth for Thee

Who calleth?--Thy Father calleth,         Run, O Daughter, to wait on Him: He Who chasteneth but for a season         Trims thy lamp that it burn not dim. Who calleth?--Thy Master calleth,         Sit, Disciple, and learn of Him: He Who teacheth wisdom of Angels         Makes thee wise as the Cherubim, Who calleth?--Thy Monarch calleth,         Rise, O Subject, and follow Him: He is stronger than Death or Devil,         Fear not thou if the foe be grim. Who calleth?--Thy Lord God calleth.         Fall, O Creature, adoring Him: He is jealous, thy God Almighty,         Count not dear to thee life or limb. Who calleth?--Thy Bridegroom calleth,         Soar, O Bride, with the Seraphim: He Who loves thee as no man loveth,         Bids thee give up thy heart to Him.
