Faith is a passionate intuition.
Miss not the occasion; by the forelock take that subtle power, the never-halting time.
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain That has been, and may be again.
Wisdom and spirit of the Universe!
On a fair prospect some have looked, And felt, as I have heard them say, As if the moving time had been A thing as steadfast as the scene On which they gazed themselves away.
A power is passing from the earth.
