[Dark with unutter'd Thought and Love]
Dark with unutter'd Thought and Love,
Oft is the heart a clouded sky;
Come rains of speech, and then above
Hope shows its bright infinity:
Then fall the showers on the earth,
Then fall the showers on the sea;
Aiding in Use' and Beauty's birth,
Lost in the dark immensity.
Oft is the heart a clouded sky;
Come rains of speech, and then above
Hope shows its bright infinity:
Then fall the showers on the earth,
Then fall the showers on the sea;
Aiding in Use' and Beauty's birth,
Lost in the dark immensity.
So, Heaven above thee is the lighter,
O Book! if honour'd thou to yield
Such drops as shall make earth the brighter,
By help to thirsting flower and field;
Such drops as like a shower may fall
Into Truth's oceanic All:
And thus wilt thou the bounties of the Main,
By work and reverence, return again.
O Book! if honour'd thou to yield
Such drops as shall make earth the brighter,
By help to thirsting flower and field;
Such drops as like a shower may fall
Into Truth's oceanic All:
And thus wilt thou the bounties of the Main,
By work and reverence, return again.
