What one was e'er 30 dear. SO kind.
So beautiful. as longing7
The thing we long for. that we are
For one transcendent moment
Before the present, poor and bare.
Can make its sneering comment
Still through our paitry stir and
strife
CLOVIS down the wished ideal.
And longing molds In clay what life
Carves in the marble real
To let the new life In. we know.
Desire must ope the portal
Perhaps the longing to be so
Helps make the soul immortal
