Table of Contents

Eyes that o’er the landscape fly,

Over dale & wood & stream

To the cloud-realms of the sky;

Eyes that wander still & dream,

Hopes that ever forward press

Seeking lovelier loveliness;

All the world is yours to roam

—Searching eye & swiftling thought—

Nowhere can ye make your home;

Not where peace so vainly sought

Bower’d in the valley lies,

Nor content’s small villages;

Nor can pleasure’s garish dress

Tempt you to a mean caress

—Thoughts that will not rest nor stay—

Ever do ye tell her nay;

Still ye wander—‘Where, O say,

Lies our vision’d loveliness?’
