ASPIRATIONS: 12 by MATHILDE BLIND

First Line: CREATURE OF MOODS AND CHANGES MANIFOLD
Last Line: SOUL, LIKE A STAR, WILT THOU PURSUE THY WAY?
Subject(s): GRIEF; GOD; CONDUCT OF LIFE; SORROW; SADNESS;
Creature of moods and changes manifold:
Mutable as the film of fleeting cloud;
Transfused now with heaven's purest gold,
And now the lightning's dread and gloomy shroud;

Dissolved, with keen bliss, in the blue sky;
'Mid storms of tears weeping thyself away;
When, when, immovable, and calm and high, --
Soul, like a star, wilt thou pursue thy way?
