A vicious parent shaming still! its child,
Poor anxious penitence, is quick dissolved
Its discords quenched by meeting harInonles,
Die in the large and charitable air,
And all our rarer, better, tIuer self,
That sobbed religiously in yearning song,
| That watched TO ease the burden oil the world,
Laboriously tracing what must be,
| And what may yet be better-saw within
| A worther image for the sanctuary,
And shaped it forth before the multitude
Diyinely human raising worship SO
| To higher reverence more mixed with love
| That better self shall live till human Time
| Shall fold its eyelids, and the human sky
| Be gathered like scroll within the tomb
Unread forever.

| Which martyred men have made more glorious
| For us who strive to follow. May reach
| That purest heaven. be to other souls
| The cup of strength i'll some great agony,
| Enkinde generous ardor, feed pure love,
Beget the smiles that have no cruelty
| Be the sweet presence of "a good ditinsed,
| And i'll diffusion even more intense,
| So shall join the choir invisible,
| Whose music is the Sladuess Of the world.

shadow that never leaves him.
A wide, rich heaven hangs above you,
but it hangs high; wide, rough world is
around you, but it lies very low.

make glade some lonely wilderness.
