Nature
The Soul
From The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse (1912)
Nature
The Soul shall burst her fetters
At last, and shall be
As the stars, as the wind, as the night,
As the" sun, as the sea.
The Soul shall struggle and stand
In the end swift and free
As the stars, as the wind, as the night,
As the sun, as the sea.
The Soul shall be crown'd and calm,
Eyes fearless — and she
Shall be queen of the wind and the night,
Stars, sun, and the sea.
