    <strong>Chorus of Eden Spirits</strong>

    HEARKEN, oh hearke your souls behind you

    Turly moved!

    Our voices feel along the Dread to find you,

    O lost, beloved!

    Through the thick-shielded and strong-marshalled angels,

    They press and pierce:

    Our requiems follow fast on our evangels,—

    Voice throbs in verse.

    We are but orphaned spirits left in Eden

    A time ago:

    God gave us g<mark>.99lib.</mark>olden cups, and we were bidden

    To feed you so.

    But now ht hand hath no cup remaining,

    No work to do,

    The mystic hydromel is spilt, and staining

    The whole earth through.

    M<u>99lib.</u>ost ineradicable stains, for showing

    (Not interfused!)

    That brighter colours were the world’s foin<strike>藏书网</strike>g,

    Than shall be used.

    Hearken, oh hearken! ye shall hearken surely

    For years and years,

    The noise beside you, dripping coldly, purely,

    Of spirits’ te<big>9９ｌib?</big>ars.

    The yearning to a beautiful denied you,

    Shall strain your powers.

    Ideal sweetnesses shall lide you,

    Resumed from ours.

    In all your music, our pathetior

    Your ears shall cross;

    And all good gifts shall mind you of diviner,

    With sense of loss.

    We shall be near you in your poet-languors

    And wild extremes,

    What time ye vex the desert with vain angers,

    Or mock with dreams.

    And when up<bdo>.9９lib.</bdo>on you, weary after roaming,

    Death’s seal is put,

    By the fone ye shall dis the ing,

    Through eyelids shut.

    <strong>Elizabeth Barrett Browning</strong>
