Harriet Winslow Sewall. (1819–1889)
 
 
1
    Why thus longing, thus forever sighing
  For the far-off, unattained, and dim,
While the beautiful all round thee lying
  Offers up its low, perpetual hymn?
          Why thus longing?
2
    Poor indeed must thou be, if around thee
  Thou no ray of light and joy canst throw—
          Why thus longing?
