To Learn The Transport By The Pain

poem 167

To learn the Transport by the Pain As Blind Men learn the sun! To die of thirst suspecting That Brooks in Meadows run!

These are the patient Laureates Whose voices trained below As cend in ceaseless Carol Inaudible, indeed, To us the duller scholars Of the Mysterious Bard!
