And yonder maidens, musing in delight,

I know not, love not, till, in sacrifice,

My spirit seems to yield to their desires,

To wait a watchful servant unto them,

To move with motives that inspire their deeds,

To look through their own eyes and see their views,

And thrill with rhythm when their ear-drums throb;

Then, joining all with all, imagine thus

The movements of their hidden inner moods.

Thus too, through all of life, how know we more?
