The divination passed my skill, --My maiden vote is maiden still. THE ANIMALCULE ON MAN An animalcule in my blood Rose up against me as I dreamed, He was so tiny as he stood, You had not heard him, though he screamed. He cried 'There is no Man!' And thumped the table with his fist, Then died--his day was scarce a span, -- That microscopic atheist. Yet all the while his little soul Within what he denied did live, --Poor part, how could he know the whole? And yet he was so positive! And all the w...hile he thus blasphemed My (solar) system went its round, My heart beat on, my head still dreamed, -- But my poor atheist was drowned. COME, MY CELIA Come, my Celia, let us prove, While we may, how wise is love--Love grown old and grey with years, Love whose blood is thinned with tears. Philosophic lover I, Broke my heart, its love run dry, And I warble passion's wordsBut to hear them sing like birds. When the lightning struck my side, Love shrieked and for ever died, Leaving nought of him behindBut these playthings of the mind.
