SONGS OF THE SOUL
I left my search in dim despair;Thou Royal, Sly Eluder!—In haste I hied away from TheeAnd I retired within me:When lo! some Unseen HandDid quickly snatch away the all-black bandThat did my eyes enfoldThat were so numb and cold,And in troth I felt quite keen:Someone beside me stood unseenAnd whispered to me, cool and clear,“Hello, playmate, I am here!”
