Seite iii - I have seen A curious child, who dwelt upon a tract Of inland ground, applying to his ear The convolutions of a smooth-lipped shell; To which, in silence hushed, his very soul Listened intensely ; and his countenance soon Brightened with joy ; for from within were heard Murmurings, whereby the monitor expressed Mysterious union with its native sea.
Seite 24 - To visit thee, fair child, and the delicate air Forbade to play upon thine ear's soft harp. And yet, how happy thine imprisoned spirit ! For in its heaven-born freedom it may hold Unveiled communion still with Him, of light The Fountain pure, — of melody and joy.
