THE CROWN OF MISERY

And he whose blessed wondering eyes
Have gazed upon Loves Paradise,
Whose voice hath caught the strain divine,
Whose soul hath listened at the shrine.
What hath he found
If love be bound?
The sight but plerceth empty space,
The voice hath lost its joyous grace,
The soul no melody doth lnd,
Though neither deaf nor dumb nor blind
A misery yet more profound,
Ii love be bound.
