In idle arrogance among our kind;

And still we gaze on heaven and think we see

The Lord and his all-holy mystery.

Nay, human eyes are all too dull; light dreams

Amuse and cheat us with what only seems.

Ah, dost thou rob me, Grief, my safeguards spurning,

Of both my darling and my trust in learning?
