John Bartlett
(18201905).
Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.
1919.
Harriet Winslow Sewall.
(18191889)
1
Why thus longing, thus forever sighing
For the far-off, unattained, and dim,
While the beautiful all round thee lying
Offers up its low, perpetual hymn?
Why thus longing?
2
Poor indeed must thou be, if around thee
Thou no ray of light and joy canst throw
Why thus longing?
