To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite; To forgive wrongs darker than Death or Night; To defy Power, which seems Omnipotent; To love, and bear; to hope, till Hope creates From its own wreck the thing it contemplates; Neither to change nor falter nor repent; This, like thy glory, Titan! is to be Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free; This is alone Life; Joy, Empire, and Victory.

SONG OF SPIRITS To the deep, to the deep, Down, down! Through the shade of sleep, Through the cloudy strife Of Death and of Life; Through the veil and the bar Of things which seem and are Even to the steps of the remotest throne, Down, down! While the sound whirls around, Down, down! As the fawn draws the hound, As the lightning the vapour, As a weak moth the taper; Death, despair; love, sorrow; Time both; to-day, to-morrow; As steel obeys the spirit of the stone, Down, down! Through the gray, void abysm, Down, down! Where the air is no prism And the moon and stars are not, And the cavern-crags wear not The radiance of Heaven, Nor the gloom to Earth given; Where there is One pervading, One alone, Down, down! In the depth of the deep, Down, down! Like veiled lightning asleep, Like the spark nursed in embers, The last look Love remembers, Like a diamond which shines On the dark wealth of mines, A spell is treasured but for thee alone. Down, down! We have bound thee, we guide thee Down, down! With the bright form beside thee— Resist not the weakness— Such strength is in meekness— That the Eternal, the Immortal, Must unloose through life's portal The snakelike Doom coiled underneath his throne By that alone!
