Again I trail my jumping-rope Beside the hill, And with strawberries from the slope My basket fill. Again with childish awe I stand In the old church. And for the hymns, with dexterous hand. Begin a search. I listen to a voice as sweet As Memnon's lyre. And my young, prayerftd pulses beat With sacred fire. A resurrection morn thou art. Dear Spring, to all Whose souls with quickened ardor start When thou dost call. SIN. " 0, wretched man that I am ! who shall deUver me from the body of this deat...h ? I thank my God, who giveth us the victory through om* Lord Jesus Christ." St. Paul. There 's a dread companion near me. Who my secret bosom scans ; Hideous is his form, and frightful As the far-famed Caliban's. Vainly do I flee his presence. Vainly struggle to be free ; He is faithful as the shadow Which at eve doth follow me. 256 POEMS. And although I hate and loathe him. Still his serrant I am found ; All my thoughts and -words and actions With his poisonous breath abound. What I would do, that I do not ; What I would not, that I do ; Never-ceasing is my warfare, Never conquered is my foe.
