BY CHARLES SWAIN, AUTHOR OF "THE MIND," "DRAMATIC CHAPTERS," AND OTHER POEMS. LONDON: PRINTED FOR LONGMAN, BROWN, GREEN, & LONGMANS, PATERNOSTER-ROW. 23475,50 HARVARD COLLEGE MAR 25 1920 Miss Lotta LONDON: SPOTTISWOODES and SHAW, New-street-Square. IN a world of things ideal In her soul for ever flowing, In which Earth could take no part; All the soaring aspiration Of a spiritual heart. From the empty dark creating Glories, hid from common sight; Scenes of beauty that seem'd waiting Angel-footsteps to alight: Views which, while her soul was seeing, And the mind that shap'd their being Lost she then her life in dreaming All but Mammon little worth? Glimpses of that world on high; Depths of that diviner spirit Which we're told shall never die? |
