Could I embody and unbosom now
That which is most within me,--could I wreak
My thoughts upon expression, and thus throw
Soul, heart, mind, passions, feelings, strong or weak,
All that I would have sought, and all I seek,
Bear, know, feel, and yet breathe--into one word,
And that one word were lightning, I would speak;
But as it is, I live and die unheard,
With a most
voiceless
thought, sheathing it as a sword.

One Anselm, that of worthy lineage came;

A consort sought, and one of noble name:
Nor vainly; in a
