With drowsy incense; let a distant stream

In quest of some forlorn retreat I rove,
For all the world is blind, and wanders from his ways.

Not mourning for the things that disappear

Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.

Now climbs upon his father's knee or to his mother's garments clings.
