Assurance And Other Poems Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Something Beyond: And Other Poems; Recreations of a Busy Life Is it not an echo ringing _through the Spirit's weird halls, Echo of an invitation That from some far future falls? Echo Of a language wooing TO some fairer, better land, Where the soul enriched, enraptured, On some starry hight shall stand? Echo Of the blest assurance That as is the soul's desire Such shall be its full provision, Ever something more and higher? Not as an eagle fettered and caged And left to languish and die, While the piteous gleam of a heavenward Fades from its noble eye, But bearing enclosed in its deep recess A title affixed with power TO something beyond its highest thought, To an unencircled dower, The spirit Oi man can feast on hope, Can spread its airy wing And darting above the storm-tossed cloud, In its self-poised grandeur sing: Something beyond! My life 1s a day That knows no twilight' s muffled ray Something beyond! My heritage lies Away, away through the azure skies.
