1
in youth have i known one with whom the earth
in secret communing held-as he with it,
in daylight,and in beautyfrom his birth:
whose fervid,flickeringtorch of life was lit
from the sun and stars,whence he had drawn forth
a passionate light-such for his spirit was fit-
and yet that spirit knew not,in the hour
of its own ferwour,what had o'erit power.
2
perhapsit may be that my mind is wrought
to afever by the moonbeam that hangs to'er,
but i will half believe that wild light fraught
with more of sovereignity than ancient lore
hath ever told-or is it of a thought
the unembodied essence,and no more,
that with a quickening spell doth o'er us pass
as dew of the night-time o'er the summer grass?
3
doth o'er us pass,when,as th' expending eye
to the loved object-so the tear of the lid
will start,which lately slept in apathy?
and yet it need not be-(that object) hid
from us in life-but common-which doth lie
each hour before us-but then only, bid
with a strange sound,as of a harp-string broken,
to awake us-'tis a symbol and a token
4
of what in other worlds shall be-and given
in beauty by our god,to those alone
who otherwise would fall from life and heaven
drawn by their heart's passion,and that tone,
that high tone of the spirit which hath striven
tho' not with faith-with godliness-whose throne
with desperate energy 't hath beaten down;
wearing its own deep feeling as a crown.
