[Faith points to viewless wonders all inherit]
[Doth Music tickle ear, and that's the whole?]
[Out of this hard and thin life]
[How should Oratory give]
[With pen and with pencil we're learning to say]
[Painters, Composers, can make use no doubt]
[How rotten the Art is that works for display!]
[Artist, your business is with surface: true.]

[Sweetheart and sweetheart, husband and wife]
Sweetheart
and sweetheart, husband and wife,
Say to each other “My Soul! my Life!”
With love's best unanimity.
Each mortal to mortal hath much to give:
Each soul by its very self must live
At the centre of infinity.
