Aspiration

Poor, impious Soul! that fixes its high hopes

In the dim distance, on a throne of clouds,

And from the morning’s mist would make the ropes

To draw it up amid acclaim of crowds-

Beware! That soaring path is lined with shrouds;

And he who braves it, though of sturdy breath,

May meet, half way, the avalanche and death!

O poor young Soul!-whose year-devouring glance

Fixes in ecstasy upon a star,

Whose feverish brilliance looks a part of earth,

Yet quivers where the feet of angels are,

And seems the future crown in realms afar-

Beware! A spark thou art, and dost but see

Thine own reflection in Eternity!
