THE STRUGGLE

"Body, I pray you, let me go!"

(It is a soul that struggles so.)

"Body, I see on yonder height

Dim reflex of a solemn light;

A flame that shineth from the place

Where Beauty walks with naked face;

It is a flame you cannot see—

Lie down, you clod, and set me free.

"Body, I pray you, let me go!"
