105. Unconscious

THE WINDS, the stars, and the skies though wrought

By the heavenly King yet know it not;

And man who moves in the twilight dim

Feels not the love that encircles him,

Though in heart, on bosom, and eyelids press

Lips of an infinite tenderness,

He turns away through the dark to roam

Nor heeds the fire in his hearth and home.
