Poems descriptive, dramatic, legendary and contemplative | ||
[II. It is, indeed, the nature that acquires]
It is, indeed, the nature that acquires,Even from these changing aspects, a new birth;
Caprice is but the sleep of the desires,
As sadness is the sweet repose of mirth;—
And all the dear variety of earth
88
The eye that saddens now, unknowing why,
To-morrow, with as little consciousness,
Will blaze with freshest lustres,—as the sky,
Late sorrowing with a cloudy, cold distress,
Anon, in all her bright of blue appears!—
Love puts on strangest aspects, that confess
A nature, not a will; and in her tears
The very hope is born whose birth alone can bless!
