SONGS OF THE SOUL

AT THE FOUNTAIN OF SONG

Dig, dig, yet deeper digIn the stony earth for fount of songDig, dig, yet deeper digIn soil of muse’s heart along.
Some sparkle is seen,Some bubble is heard:’T is then unseen,—The bubble is dead.
The watery sheenAgain doth show;Dig, dig, still deeper e’enTill the bubble song again would grow.
I hear the song,I see its body bright,—Yet cannot touch—I longTo seize it now and drink its liquid light.
