XXIII.
Virgin from Fame, and widowed of his Love,As for life's baser objects all too high,
He lived alone, and fixed a steadfast eye
On the fair prospects of the world above.
Over earth's foreground poor of hill and grove
The streams of sunset, and the starry sky
He watched; and he had heard that harmony
Which Spirits leave behind where'er they move.
Men said he was a Visionary. True:
He was such, for the deep and precious things
Most real, ever stood before his view:
His tendency was upward: without wings
His sympathies ascended—yet below
Where Duty called him, he was prompt to go.
