She wept with pity and delight, She blushed with love and virgin shame; And like the murmur of a dream, I heard her breathe my name.

Página 287 - But trailing clouds of glory do we come From God who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close Upon the growing boy; But he beholds the light, and whence it flows, He sees it in his joy!
