In a piece of friedrich Tcunyson's, called "Sumrnc
and Winter" a sage is thus represented a: spSaxln'
As the earth turns unto the sun,
And from the sun again,
Thy heart must through its SORROWS run,
And pass from Joy to pain;
But know-thc spring that withcIs hrr'.
No more on earth can reappear.
As winter showers bring back the leaf,
As winter SHOWS the green.
The heart Of man must taste of grief,
To be what it hath been;
That grief, though not on earth, shall bring
Another and a noblcr spring.
Oh thou must weep. and in the rain
OF tears raise up the prime
And beauty Of thy heart again.
And toll, and fall with time:
And look on fate, and bear TO REQ
The shadow of death Familiarity.
Thy noblest act is but Il sorrow,
TO livc-though i'll bciall:
Thy great reward to die Tomorrow,
II God and nature call;
In faith to reach what ear and ego
Dream not, nor all thy phantaSy.
