Through the deep caves of thought I hear a voice that sings:—

Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul.

As the swift seasons roll! 30

Leave thy low-vaulted past!

Let each new temple, nobler than the last,

Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,

Till thou at length art free,

Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea! 35
