His Heart

      And there was one
      Had taken up a song
      Could not put it down again,
      His heart had been harrowed
5     So deeply and so long.
      And there was one
      Had a fine frenzy in his eye
      And leapt from blazing hillock to hillock
      In his mind, his imagination striding
10    Dionysian, above the plains.
      And was there one
      Renewed all anguish in a thought
      Or with his burning blood made all the causes stop?
      His heart had meditated silence
15    So deeply and so long.
