Excerpt: ...like a Tower That long has lean'd forward, leans hour after hour - Mother, whose Spirit in fetters is bound, While she dandles the babe in her arms to the sound. 40 Now, Coaches and Chariots, roar on like a stream; Here are twenty souls happy as Souls in a dream: They are deaf to your murmurs-they care not for you, Nor what ye are flying, or what ye pursue TO THE DAISY.
