MEMORY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

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 --
Below, above.
