Nor, more than wiser we in our affairs,

Divines the providence that hides and helps.

Heave, ho! Heave, ho! he whistles as the twine

Slackens its hold; once more, now! and a flash

Lightens across the sunlight to the elm

Where his mate dangles at her cup of felt

Nor all his booty is the thread; he trails

My loosened thought with it along the air,

And I must follow, would I ever find

The inward rhyme to all this wealth of life.”
