The white billow in distance,
And the expanse of Life and World

Love's red seas, white fancy-birds,
Behold! and the blue.

Some one at my door?
Go away, go, — go away!

What is life? A voice,
A thought, a light on the dark,-

I hear in the fallen leaf.
"Life's autumn," I cry.

The seas sleep. The stars —
They are where? Oh my loneliness!
I gaze on my heart.
