Poems of Arthur Hugh Clough (Classic Reprint)

It was but some few nights ago
I wandered down this quiet lane ; I pray that J may never know
The feelings then I felt, again. The leaves were sinning ail about,
You might almost have seen them springing ; I heard the cuckoo's simple shout,
And all the little birds were singing. It was not dull, the air was clear,
All lovely sights and sounds to deal, My eyes could see, my ears could hear,
Only my heart, it would not feel ; And yet that it should uot be so,
My mind kept telling me within • Though nought was wrong that I did know,
I thought I must have done some sin. For I am sure as I can be,
That they who have been wont to look On all in Nature's face they see,
Even as in the Holy Book ; They who with pare and humble eyes
Have gazed and read her lessons high, And taught their spirits to be wise
In love and human sympathy,- That they can soon and surely tell
When aught has gone amiss within,
