Religion
A Violinist
From The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse (1912)
Religion
The lark above our heads doth know
A heaven we see not here below;
She sees it, and for joy she sings;
Then falls with ineffectual wings.
Ah, soaring soul! faint not nor tire!
Each heaven attain'd reveals a. higher.
Thy thought is of thy failure; we
List raptured, and thank God for thee.
