— That passionate longings and fimcies vain Set the heart on fire and crazed the brain ? — That over the holy oracles Folly sported with cap and bells ? — That goodly women and learned men Marvelling told with tongue and pen Digitized by VjOOQ IC 320 POEMS AND LYRICS.
How unweaned children chirped like birds Texts of Scripture and solemn words, like the infant seers of the rocky glens In the Puy de Dome of wild Cevennes : Or baby Lamas who pray and preach From Tartar cradles in Buddha's speech?...
In the war which Truth or Freedom wages With impious fraud and the wrong of ages Hate and malice and self-love mar The notes of triumph with painful jar, And the helping angels turn aside Their sorrowing faces the shame to hide.
Never on custom's oil^d grooves The world to a higher level moves, But grates and grinds with friction hard On granite boulder and flinty shard.
The heart must bleed before it feels.
The pool be troubled before it heals ; Ever by losses the ri^ht must gain.
Every good have its birth of pain ; The active Virtues blush to find The Vices wearing their badge be- hind, And Graces and Charities feel the fire Wherein the sins of the age expire ; The fiend still rends as of old he rent The tortured body from which he went.
