As speaks one spirit to another.

In vain my thought gropes blindly here,

To make those sacred symbols clear;

Ye unseen Powers that hover near me,

Answer, I charge ye, when ye hear me!

Ha! what ecstatic joy this page reveals,

At once through all my thrilling senses flowing!

Young holy zest of life my spirit feels

In every vein, in every nerve, new glowing!
