Walks like him, with sin-veil’d sight,—

Sees, like him, the gathering night,

All his gain of knowledge shares,

All his loss of blindness bears.

I have boldly dared to plan

The refashioning of Man,—

There’s my work,—Sin’s image grown,

Whom God moulded in His own.—

Forth! to wider fields away!

Here’s no room for battle-play!
