[I have search'd the universe, beneath, above]

1

I have search'd the universe, beneath, above,
And everywhere with this importunate lyre
Have wander'd desperately seeking Love,
But everywhere have only found Desire.

2

I have prob'd the spheres above, the spheres beneath.
Their dim abysms have echo'd to my shout
Invoking Truth. But time, space, life, and death,
And joy, and sorrow, only answer'd “Doubt!”
