HOMEWARD.
BY W.H. CHANNING
* * * * *
Last, having thus revealed all I could love
And having received all love bestowed on it,
I would die: so preserving through my course
God full on me, as I was full on men:
And He would grant my prayer--"I have gone through
All loveliness of life; make more for me,
If not for men,--or take me to Thyself,
Eternal, Infinite Love!"
BROWNING.
Till another open for me
In God's Eden-land unknown,
With an angel at the doorway,
White with gazing at His Throne;
And a saint's voice in the palm-trees, singing,--"ALL IS LOST, and _won_."
ELIZABETH BARRETT.
La ne venimmo: e lo scaglion primaio
Bianco marmo era si pulito e terso,
Ch'io mi specchiava in esso, qual io paio.
Era 'l secondo tinto, piu che perso,
D'una petrina ruvida ed arsiccia,
Crepata per lo lungo e per traverso.
