The book of the dead | ||
186
[XCIII. I pity him who holds his grief]
I pity him who holds his grief
No higher than a passing sigh;
And casts about, to find relief,
With nature's tear-drops in his eye.
No higher than a passing sigh;
And casts about, to find relief,
With nature's tear-drops in his eye.
Who seeks the world to drown his care,
Who leads the laughter of the gay,
And lays his sacred sorrow bare,
For any breath to blow away.
Who leads the laughter of the gay,
And lays his sacred sorrow bare,
For any breath to blow away.
Who dulls his heart, and drugs his brain;
Is pleased, and strives in turn to please;
That he may blunt the edge of pain,
And live again in selfish ease.
Is pleased, and strives in turn to please;
That he may blunt the edge of pain,
And live again in selfish ease.
The grief that rent my breast has shown
The wonder of my heart to me;
And, mirrored clearly in my own,
The great heart of humanity.
The wonder of my heart to me;
And, mirrored clearly in my own,
The great heart of humanity.
187
Supremest wonder of the whole!
O heart divine! whose narrow space
Reflects before the gazing soul
Heaven's vastness, and God's vaster grace!
O heart divine! whose narrow space
Reflects before the gazing soul
Heaven's vastness, and God's vaster grace!
