ANALOGY.

II.
Can man know longing for a thing
That is not—hath not been?
Dare we distrust desires that spring
Spontaneous within?
Tongue argueth speech; and power, deed—
Each is by each implied;
Can there be universal need
Unmet, unsatisfied?
The heart attuned to love doth find
Love waiting at the door,
He who to knowledge turns his mind
Finds knowledge there before,
And shall the deepest want we know,
The spirit's anguished cry
For kinship through the darkness, go
Unanswered from on high?
