A Ruddy Drop Of Manly Blood The Surging Sea Outweighs, The World Uncertain Comes And Goes; The Lover Rooted Stays. I Fancied He Was Fled,-- And, After Many A Year, Glowed Unexhausted Kindliness, Like Daily Sunrise There. My Careful Heart Was Free Again, O Friend, My Bosom Said, Through Thee Alone The Sky Is Arched, Through Thee The Rose Is Red; All Things Through Thee Take Nobler Form, And Look Beyond The Earth, The Mill-Round Of Our Fate Appears A Sun-Path In Thy Worth. Me Too Thy Nobleness Has Taught To Master My Despair; The Fountains Of My Hidden Life Are Through Thy Friendship Fair.
