That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, lest you should think he never could recapture the first fine careless rapture!

|
Fear death? - to feel the fog in my throat, / The mist in my face.

|
I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.

|
I would have rummaged, ransacked at the word; Those old odd corners of an empty heart; For remnants of dim love the long disused, And dusty crumbling of romance!

|
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made:

|
If two lives join, there is oft a scar, / They are one and one, with a shadowy third; / One near one is too far.

|
O lover of my life, O soldier-saint.

|
Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp - or what's a heaven for
