Lost Reality.

Topics: classic

O soul of life, 't is thee we long to hear,     Thine eyes we seek for, and thy touch we dream;     Lost from our days, thou art a spirit near, -     Life needs thine eloquence, and ways supreme.     More real than we who but a semblance wear,     We see thee not, because thou wilt not seem!
