THE AWFUL shadow of some unseen Power | |
Floats though unseen among us,—visiting | |
This various world with as inconstant wing | |
As summer winds that creep from flower to flower,— | |
Like moonbeams that behind some piny mountain shower, | 5 |
It visits with inconstant glance | |
Each human heart and countenance; | |
Like hues and harmonies of evening,— | |
Like clouds in starlight widely spread,— | |
Like memory of music fled,— | 10 |
Like aught that for its grace may be | |
Dear, and yet dearer for its mystery. |
