CVIII.

The love of higher things and better days;

The unbounded hope, and heavenly ignorance

Of what is called the World, and the World's ways;

The moments when we gather from a glance

More joy than from all future pride or praise,

Which kindle manhood, but can ne'er entrance

The Heart in an existence of its own,

Of which another's bosom is the zone.
