Chapter 29 No.29

I grieve not that ripe Knowledge takes away

The charm that Nature to my childhood wore,

For, with that insight, cometh, day by day,

A greater bliss than wonder was before;

The real doth not clip the poet's wings,-

To win the secret of a weed's plain heart

Reveals some clue to spiritual things,

And stumbling guess becomes firm-f
