Lo, to him fraternal is the stony and the terrible place:

His stricken Genius out of deeps unguessed

Rises up, grappling his reality to reality,

And still the secret in himself explores,

Bound beyond fear, the discovered and discoverer,

And in his own soul touches farthest shores.

Though he be stript of all, Powers from far replenish him,

Powers of the streaming worlds that through him stream.

O throbbing heart, O lifted arms, O tenderness,

O only capable of grief supreme!
