OTHERS may need new life in Heaven -- Man, nature, Art -- made new, assume! Man with new mind old sense to leaven, Nature, -- new light to clear old gloom, Art that breaks bounds, gets soaring-room. I shall pray: "Fugitive as precious -- Minutes which passed, -- return, remain! Let earth's old life once more enmesh us, You with old pleasure, me -- old pain, So we but meet nor part again!" |
