Página 352 - Then did I check the tears of useless passionWeaned my young soul from yearning after thine; Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten Down to that tomb already more than mine. And, even yet, I dare not let it languish, Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain; Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish, How could I seek the empty world again?
Página 357 - Desire for nothing known in my maturer years, When Joy grew mad with awe, at counting future tears. When, if my spirit's sky was full of flashes warm, I knew not whence they came, from sun or thunderstorm.

Página 350 - And even for that Spirit, Seer, I've watched and sought my lifetime long; Sought him in Heaven, Hell, Earth and Air, An endless search — and always wrong! Had I but seen his glorious eye Once light the clouds that 'wilder me, I ne'er had raised this coward cry To cease to think and cease to be...
Página 419 - Often rebuked, yet always back returning To those first feelings that were born with me, And leaving busy chase of wealth and learning For idle dreams of things which cannot be: Today, I will seek not the shadowy region; Its unsustaining vastness waxes drear; And visions rising, legion after legion, Bring the unreal world too strangely near. I'll walk, but not...
Página 350 - I saw a Spirit standing, Man, Where thou dost stand — an hour ago; And round his feet, three rivers ran Of equal depth and equal flow — 'A Golden stream, and one like blood, And one like Sapphire, seemed to be, But where they joined their triple flood It tumbled in an inky sea.
