Or submits to winds.And many an eye that all its age had drawn itsbeam from a Book endures the impudenceof modern glare that never heard of tactor timeliness, or Mystery that shroudsimmortal joy: it merely can directchancing feet across dissembling clods.Out from Thy shadows, from Thy pleasant meadows,quickly, in undiluted light. Be glad, whosemansions are bright, to right Thy children’s air.If Thou be more than hate or atmospherestep forth in splendor, mortify our wolves.Or we assume a sovereignty ourselves.Support the showBUY VERSECRAFT MERCH HERE.
