When I hoped I feared -
Since I hoped I dared
Everywhere alone
As a church remain -
Spectre cannot harm -
Serpent cannot charm -
Hope deposes Doom
Who hath suffered him -

In this short Life
That lasts only an hour
How much - how little - is
Within our power

Pursuing you in your transitions,
In other Motes -
Of other Myths
Your requisition be.
The Prism never held the Hues,
It only heard them play -

Dying at my music!
Bubble! Bubble!
Hold me till the Octave's run!
Quick! Burst the windows!
Ritardando!
Phials left, and the Sun!

Drowning is not so pitiful
As the attempt to rise.
Three times, 'tis said, a sinking man
Comes up to face the skies,
And then declines forever
To that abhorred abode,
Where hope and he part company -
For he is grasped of God.
The Maker's cordial visage,
However good to see,
Is shunned, we must admit it,
Like an adversity.

It stole along so stealthy
Suspicion it was done
Was dim as to the wealthy
Beginning not to own -

There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us to Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry -
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll -
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human soul.

Out of sight? What of that?
See the Bird - reach it!
Curve by Curve - Sweep by Sweep -
Round the Steep Air -
Danger! What is that to Her?
Better 'tis to fail - there -
Than debate - here -
Blue is Blue - the World through -
Amber - Amber - Dew - Dew -
Seek - Friend - and see -
Heaven is shy of Earth - that's all -
Bashful Heaven - thy Lovers small -
Hide - too - from thee -

If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one in Pain
Or help the fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in vain.
