To Learn The Transport By The Pain,

Topics: classic

To learn the transport by the pain,     As blind men learn the sun;     To die of thirst, suspecting     That brooks in meadows run;     To stay the homesick, homesick feet     Upon a foreign shore     Haunted by native lands, the while,     And blue, beloved air --     This is the sovereign anguish,     This, the signal woe!     These are the patient laureates     Whose voices, trained below,     Ascend in ceaseless carol,     Inaudible, indeed,     To us, the duller scholars     Of the mysterious bard!
