Let it no longer be a forlorn hope <br />To wash an Ethiop : <br />He's wash'd, his gloomy skin a peaceful shade <br />For his white soul is made : <br />And now, I doubt not, the Eternal Dove <br />A black-faced house will love.<br /><br />Richard Crashaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-the-baptized-ethiopian/
