To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Weave her 'round and 'round, With skeins of silken sound ! Tis a little stricken deer, Who doth from the hunter fly, Wandering here to droop, — to die, Ignorant of her wound !
Soothe her with sad stories, O Poet, till she sleep !
Dreams, come forth with all your glories !
Night, breathe soft and deep !
Music, 'round her creep !
If she steal away to weep, Seek her out, — and, when you find her, Gentle, gentlest Music, wind her Round and round, Round and round, With your bands of softest sound ; ...Such as we, at night-fall, hear In the wizard forest near, When the charmed Maiden sings At the hidden springs !
114 SONGS.
CVIII. — LIFE.
We are born ; we laugh : we weep ; We love ; we droop ; we die ! Ah ! wherefore do we laugh, or weep ?
Why do we live, or die ? Who knows that secret deep ?
Alas, not I !
Why doth the violet spring Unseen by human eye ? Why do the radiant seasons bring Sweet thoughts that quickly fly ? Why do our fond hearts cling To things that die ?
We toil, — through pain and wrong ; We fight, — and fly ; We love ; we lose ; and then, ere long, Stone-dead we lie.
