These are great in their suggestions of images—that “the day won’t be much till” the speaker “raise[s] a Host over it”. It gives the suggestion of a monstranced Host being raised over the congregation like a brilliant sun, which also deepens with the sun/son homophones. Also, that the “creak on wooden stairs” hints at Autumn—one can feel the oncoming coolth that contracts the bevels of summer. The embrittling of summer into fall. Great work.
