[IV
Her soul is free from Time's fantastic trance:]
Her soul is free from Time's fantastic trance:No infidelity has vexed her eyes
Where burns the light of spiritual skies
Deep and unshaken by the winds of chance.
Her beauty gives a new significance
To life, and new desires and dignities,
And exaltation of new stars that rise
Over the dark ways of deliverance.
Love is her captive and her minister;
The golden shadow of the wings of love
Lies warm and tranquil on her naked breast:
She is the World's Desire, the shrine whereof
Life is the pilgrim, and in quest of her
All men have striven and suffered without rest!
