VII "Thou know'st how I went forth, my youthful breast On fire with thee, amid the paths of men ; Once in my wanderings, my lone footsteps pressed A mountain forest ; in a sombre glen, Down which its thundrous boom a cataract flung, A little bird, unheeded, built and sung. " So fell my voice amid the whirl and rush Of human passions ; if unto my art Sorrow hath sometimes owed a gentler gush, I know it not ; if any Poet-heart Hath kindled at my songs its light divine, I know it not ; no ray came... back to mine. " Alone in crowds, once more I sought to make Of senseless things my friends j the clouds that burn Above the sunset, and the flowers that shake Their odors in the wind these would not turn Their faces from me ; far from cities, I Forgot the scornful world that passed me by. A VISION OF POESY 95 x "Yet even the world's cold slights I might have borne, Nor fled, though sorrowing ; but I shrank at last When one sweet face, too sweet, I thought, for scorn, Looked scornfully upon me ; then I passed From all that youth had dreamed or manhood planned, Into the self that none would understand.
