A man's a man,
But when you see a king, you see the work
Of many thousand men.

Spanish Gypsy (1868)

Death is the king of this world: 'tis his park
Where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain
Are music for his banquet.

Spanish Gypsy (1868)

Life's a vast sea
That does its mighty errand without fail,
Painting in unchanged strength though waves are changing.

Spanish Gypsy (1868)

Music sweeps by me as a messenger
Carrying a message that is not for me.

Spanish Gypsy (1868)

Our growing thought
Makes growing revelation.

Spanish Gypsy (1868)

Our joy is dead, and only smiles on us.

Spanish Gypsy (1868)

All things journey: sun and moon,
Morning, noon, and afternoon,
Night and all her stars;
Twixt the east and western bars
Round they journey,
Come and go!
We go with them!

Spanish Gypsy (1868)
