Do we revert so fondly to the walks

Of childhood—but that there the Soul discerns

The dear memorial footsteps unimpaired

Of her own native vigour; thence can hear[819]

Reverberations; and a choral song,

Commingling with the incense that ascends,

Undaunted, toward[820] the imperishable heavens,

From her own lonely altar?

"Do not think

That good and wise ever will be allowed,[821]
