\nEuphrosyne<\/span><\/b><\/font> <\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n\n

\nChild of the infant years, Euphrosyne,
\nBird of my boyhood, youth\u2019s blithe deity!
\nIf I have hymned thee not <\/i>with lyric phrase, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Preferring
\nEros or Aglaia\u2019s praise,
\nFrown not, thou lovely spirit, leave me not.
\nMan worships the ungrasped. His vagrant thought <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Still
\nbusy with the illimitable void
\nLives all the time by little things upbuoyed <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Which
\nhe contemns; the wife unsung remains <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sharing
\nhis pleasures, taking half his pains,
\nWhile to dream faces mounts the poet\u2019s song. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet
\nshe makes not their lyric light her wrong, <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing
\nher homely eyes his sorrow\u2019s star <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Smiles
\nat the eclipsing brow untouched by care. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\nContent with human love lightly
\nshe yields
\nThe immortal fancy
\nits Elysian fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

             A<\/span>N<\/span>
\nI<\/span>MPRESSION<\/span><\/p>\n

Hark in the trees the low-voiced nightingale
\nHas slain the silence with a jubilant cry;
\nHow clear in the hushed night, yet voluble
\nAnd various as sweet water wavering by,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

That
\nmurmurs in a channel small
\nBeneath a low grey wall,
\nThen sings amid the fitful rye.
\nO sweet grave Siren of the night,
\n        <\/span>Astarte\u2019s
\neremite,<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Thou
\nfeedest every leaf with solemn glee,
\nLo, the night-winds sigh happier, being chid by thee.     <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
