It comes! the power

Within me born flows back—my fruitless dower

That could not win me love. Yet once again

I greet it proudly, with its rushing train

Of glorious images: they throng—they press—

A sudden joy lights up my loneliness—

I shall not perish all!

The bright work grows

Beneath my hand, unfolding, as a rose,

Leaf after leaf, to beauty—line by line,
