First Line: Memory hath feet
Last Line: Below, above.
Subject(s): Memory
Memory hath feet,
They are desire:
Goal-ward they travel, sure and fleet,
Nor ever tire.
Memory hath hands,
They are the will:
Boldly they seize what she demands,
And hold it still.
Memory hath eyes,
The insight they:
True to her steady aim she flies,
And knows the way.
Memory hath lips,
And they are love:
Nothing from her caresses slips --
