Were worlds of woe, where tears in torrents ached,

Yet never fell. And like a winter sea,—

VIII

Whose caverned crags are haunts of wreck and wrath,

That house the condor pinions of the storm,—

My soul replied; and, weeping, arm in arm,

To'ards those dim hills, by that appointed path,

IX

We turned and went. Arrived, we did discern

How Beauty beckoned, white 'mid miles of flowers,
