Love's very pain is sweet,
But its reward is in the world divine
Which, if not here, it builds beyond the grave.
Epipsychidion (1821)
I never thought before my death to see
Youth's vision thus made perfect.
Epipsychidion (1821)
And bid them love each other and be blest:
And leave the troop which errs, and which reproves,
And come and be my guest, — for I am Love's.
Epipsychidion (1821)
Poor captive bird! Who, from thy narrow cage,
Pourest such music, that it might assuage
The rugged hearts of those who prisoned thee,
Were they not deaf to all sweet melody.
Epipsychidion (1821)
