My lips had formed to prayer. — Then thro' the gloom I gat me to my sleep.
TO A THRUSH Singing one Spring morn 'mid deepest fog Throstle-bird !
I have heard This thy voice of cheer, As I lay In the sway Of a waking fear ; And its message dropt me peace, From its rapt career.
50 TO A THRUSH 5» Yet, say how Thou may'st now Every note prolong !
Doth the fog Never clog Never still thy song ?
Doth thy music ever rise Mellow, sweet, and strong ?
Ho ! when Morn Doth adorn Shuddering Mother Earth, Jocu
...nd Day Swelling gay.
Kingly in his girth, I may something understand This so mellow mirth.
52 TO A THRUSH But when morn Rises worn, As on gloomy wing ; When in murk Light doth lurk Like some callow thing, Tell me, throstle, how thou then Cheerily canst sing?
Often time Peace sublime, 'Mid the fairest day.
Flickers wan And is gone Phantom on its way.
Then a sudden gloom enshrouds Hearts within its sway.
TO A THRUSH 53 Then the smile Fades awhile, Then the laugh is still, Then the tune Falters, hewn By the touch of 111, Then Life's music flutters low Sorrow to fulfil Ill-content To be pent Out of aught, griefs come All unbid Right amid Spirits frolicsome : Ah 1 then lips attuned to praise Press each other dumb !
