Shall have distinct and trembling beauty, seen

Beside that past's own shade when, in relief,

Its brightness shall stand out: nor yet on thee

Shall burst the future, as successive zones

Of several wonder open on some spirit

Flying secure and glad from heaven to heaven:

But thou shalt painfully attain to joy,

While hope and fear and love shall keep thee man!

All this was hid from me: as one by one

My dreams grew dim, my wide aims circumscribed,
