TIME, REAL AND IMAGINARY[419:2]

AN ALLEGORY

On the wide level of a mountain's head,
(I knew not where, but 'twas some faery place)
[[420]]Their pinions, ostrich-like, for sails out-spread,
Two lovely children run an endless race,
A sister and a brother! 5
This far outstripp'd the other;
Yet ever runs she with reverted face.
And looks and listens for the boy behind:
For he, alas! is blind!
O'er rough and smooth with even step he passed, 10
And knows not whether he be first or last.

? 1812.
