It comes to souls neglected and alone,

Something that prodigals in pleasure's mart

Lose in the whirl;

The peasant child will have a purer heart

Than the vain favourite of the vanished earl.

And far above this tragic world of ours

There is a world of a diviner fashion,

A mystic world, a world of dreams and passion

That each aspiring thing creates and dowers

With its own light;
