…tains and fresh grass by magic spell Are suddenly around me. And above I hear the voice my visions know so well : ‘Well striven all this day against the power of Hell!” I know these mercies still diviner grow Each day I strive. But should I sit and rest One hour of dawn, and cry, ‘‘I will not go Another step without more sleep,” that blest' Dove flies away, the fountains are re- pressed, 1 J,e,, to serve as a direction.

Yet if these bays abide, this heart not wither, 7 It cannot be I shall not find a friend. Some pale immortal lover draw me th…
