a QUESTION.


Before peril all for thee,
Question thy soul tonight for me.
I break all slighter bonds, nor feel
One shadow of regret,
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or is thy faith as clear and free
AS that which l can pledge to thee?
Look deeper still if thou canst feel,
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept a portion back,
While / have staked the whole
Let no false pity spare the blow,
But in true mercy tell me So
Is there within thy heart a need
That mine cannot fulfill?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or. still?
Speak now, lest at some future day,
My whole life wither and decay.
