Not
all: the songs, the stirring air,
The life re-orient out of dust,
Cry thro’ the sense to hearten trust
In
that which made the world so fair.
Not
all regret: the face will shine
Upon me, while I muse alone;
And that dear voice, I once have known,
Still
speak to me of me and mine:
Yet
less of sorrow lives in me
For days of happy commune dead;
Less yearning for the friendship fled,
Than
some strong bond which is to be.
