Experience
Three memories hold us ever With longing and with pain; Three memories Time has never Been able to restrain; That in each life remain A part of heart and brain. The first 's of that which taught us To follow, Beauty still; Who to the Fountain brought us Of ancient good and ill, And bade us drink our fill At Life's wild-running rill. The second one, that 's driven Of anguish and delight, Holds that which showed us Heaven, Through Love's triumphant might; And, deep beneath its height, Hell, sighing in the night. The third none follows after: Its form is veiled and dim; Its eyes are tears and laughter, That look beyond the rim Of earth and point to Him, Who rules the Seraphim.
