One of God's children with the laughing signs

Of dimples, and glad accents, and sweet cries,

That angels are and heaven's memories:

The wizard thus my soul's estate divines;

All it holds dear he sets alone apart,

Etches the past in likeness of dim groves

Silvered in quiet rime and with rare art,

In crystal spoils and fairy treasure-troves,

He draws the picture of the happy heart,

By those who love it most, whom most it loves.
