In every tangle of my hair,

But could not stir—for there was I,

In more than rapture’s reverie.

And was I yet in this green world,

Was yet my spirit here!

Was I safe home, that had been hurl’d

Out o’er the farthest sphere!

Oh—had I time to strive for Heaven!

Or, was I dreaming still!

Would God this riddle’s end were given!
