Tell thou the brothers of our boyhood's prime, That the sweet echoes of their sinless glee Break on the spirit's ear, a rapturous chime, A ransomed captive's song of liberty. I long to hear it in its verity, To taste those springs of everlasting bliss. Pass on pure soul, pass on exultingly; What are the glories of that life to this; Thou leavest me desolate, but for bright hope and fair, To bear me onward, upward to that glorious gate.
