First Line: Thou beholdest in thy vision
Last Line: And a bridge across procure me?
Subject(s): Longing
THOU beholdest in thy vision
Fable's silent flow'rs before thee,
And a yearning wild steals o'er thee
At their fragrant scent elysian.
But thou from those flow'rs art parted
By a gulf both deep and fearful;
Thou becomest sad and tearful,
And at last art broken-hearted.
How they glitter! how they lure me!
Could I but the gulf pass over!
How the secret to discover,
And a bridge across procure me?
