Held me in Fancy ' s chain ; Chasing a shadow was my strife ,
A nameless longing filled my life , ' Tis therefore I complain . "
* Spirit . " That longing was an instinct given ,
Your heart to purify ; Those chains were Virtue ' s leading strings ,
The downy guidance of an angel ' s wings , Viewless , yet ever nigh .
" Who long has gazed upon the skies , To him the earth looks cold ;
' Who cherishes some pure ideal , Must oft-times sicken at the real ,
Which mortal ways unfold . " Are ten years wasted which have steered
You safe through youth ' s wild stream ? The veil of falsehood lifted up ,
Dashed down low pleasure ' s poisoned cup , Ambition ' s foolish dream ?
" L / ysias , clear , up that cloudy brow , No cause have you to rue
That day when stretched beneath a tree , You chanced your guardian sprite to see ,
Who having taught you what to be ,
Now bids you ' _G-o and do ! ' "
