Emblems

A STREAMLET is a bright and beauteous creature In some wide desert, where it keeps apart Of each wayfarer?s heart: The Star of Evening is a gracious feature, Instinct as ?twere with all the love that eyes Have looked through at the skies. And hence one emblems in its beauteous being The memory of a Joy that in my heart Flowed gratefully apart; The other, to my spiritual seeing, The perpetuity of Love?s white grace Yet in some heavenly place.
