"Along the mazes of this song I go"
From Poetical Works, ed. Knight (1896), vol. VIII
Arts & Sciences
Along the mazes of this song I go
As inward motions of the wandering thought
Lead me, or outward circumstance impels.
Thus do I urge a never-ending way
Year after year, with many a sleep between,
Through joy and sorrow; if my lot be joy
More joyful if it be with sorrow sooth’d.
