Excerpt from Life: A Poem
Should they essay, when there the thirsty soul Returns to drink of Inspiration's flow, 'twill find no slaking flavor of the deep, Life-ebullition stirred its far-off depths. The gifts of language had but faintly traced, In faded image scarce discernible, The mysteries a lifted spirit read Though faint, e'en this within the kindred soul Wakes thoughts reflecting inspiration's glow To stir its nature as with magic power.
Oft the caged bird with quick, impatient wing Beats hard the prison bars, its eager eye By new caught glimpse of brighter elements Fixed on its proper home. Convulsively At times the yearning spirit yields itself To momentary action, like the flight To come throughout Eternity's wide range. A view prolonged beyond that transient glimpse Were uncongenial with its earthly sphere, Nor sympathetic with the grosser acts Called forth by challenge of the passions hold Divided sway within the mortal bonds.
