Never to the eye revealed;
There are songs whose hidden flow
Mortal ears can never know.
There are flowers whose perfect hue
Seems to shrink from common view,
And a ruthless human touch
Is IA death blow unto such.
There are lives that stand alone,
To the outer world unknown;
Only here and there they find
Kindred spirits in mankind.
