The gladness, and the sadness, and the pain—

Came back upon me like a lifting music,

Beautiful, and most sorrowful, and divine.

Till a vast compassion

Up through the springs of all my being welled

Intolerably! Ah, even as to myself,

Unfaithful, the exuberant Bounty stooped

With arms of pity; so I longed to do—

To lose myself at last in the Great Self

That beams upon the just and the unjust,
