A Lament
Over thy head, in joyful wanderings Through heaven's wide spaces, free, Birds fly with music in their wings; And from the blue, rough sea The fishes flash and leap; There is a life of loveliest things O'er thee, so fast asleep. In the deep West the heavens grow heavenlier, Eve after eve; and still The glorious stars remember to appear; The roses on the hill Are fragrant as before: Only thy face, of all that's dear, I shall see nevermore!
