Chapter 12 TO M.W., ON HER BIRTHDAY

Maiden, when such a soul as thine is born,

The morning-stars their ancient music make,

And, joyful, once again their song awake,

Long silent now with melancholy scorn;

And thou, not mindless of so blest a morn,

By no least deed its harmony shalt break,

But shalt to that high chime thy footsteps take,

Through life's most darksom
