SCENE X.
The Vacant Study.Through the open door the voice of Amy.
Amy.
Neither gold nor silver, oh ye heavens!
Only a little sunshine and sweet air,
The sunshine and the air of the old days!
Only a little sunshine and sweet air,
The sunshine and the air of the old days!
55
Only to be a feather on the stream,
A thistle-plume upon the changing wind
Hither and thither; to go to and fro
And up and down the joyance of the world,
The happy world, and be a part of all.
A thistle-plume upon the changing wind
Hither and thither; to go to and fro
And up and down the joyance of the world,
The happy world, and be a part of all.
Ye are now unto me, oh ye bright heavens,
As one who should misuse the deaf and blind
In secret, but full loud when men are by
Speaketh rich words of love into the ears
That hear not, and before the sightless eyes
Makes vain ado of all they cannot see.
As one who should misuse the deaf and blind
In secret, but full loud when men are by
Speaketh rich words of love into the ears
That hear not, and before the sightless eyes
Makes vain ado of all they cannot see.
I pray ye ope the lattice of my soul
And let the wind blow on me ere I die,
And let me hold my forehead to the light,
And let me feel the falling of the dews,
And know the holy blessing of the rain!
And let the wind blow on me ere I die,
And let me hold my forehead to the light,
And let me feel the falling of the dews,
And know the holy blessing of the rain!
