THE WALL by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: THE SUN FALLS THROUGH THE OLIVE-TREES
Last Line: AND STILL MY SOUL IS DEAF AND BLIND.

THE sun falls through the olive-trees
And shines upon the wall below,
And lights the wall which cannot know
The Sunlight that it never sees.

I lie and dream; the Eternal Mind
Rains down on me and fills me full
With secrets high and wonderful;
And still my soul is deaf and blind.
