SOUL SOLITUDE, by GERTRUDE WOODCOCK SEIBERT
First Line: Poor fools, we fondly gaze at one another
Last Line: Till in his likeness all shall wake.
Subject(s): Soul; Wellesley College
First Line: Poor fools, we fondly gaze at one another
Last Line: Till in his likeness all shall wake.
Subject(s): Soul; Wellesley College
POOR fools, we fondly gaze at one another,
Dreaming we see, we know, and fail
To mark how darkness thicker than black night
Each from other's soul doth veil.
Hopes, fears, ambitions, heart's desires,
Our pale lips tell -- vain words, they fall
On ears too dull, they cannot understand!
A dead wall parts us each from all.
Mysteriously as pass the winds of Heaven,
Each separate soul its way doth take,
Seeing and seen, as in a glass, darkly --
Till in His likeness all shall wake.
