Excerpt from The Minstrel With the Selfsame Song: And Other PoemsA warm affection, never cloying, Awaits our coming and our going, And eager welcomes greet us, Upon the threshold, with loud joying, The children meet us.Ah, precious hearth where, pure as air, The soul may soar, the heart from care Be free, where, night and morning, Both thought and footstep ¿ying fare With ceaseless yearning!Seek, youth, such dearly sacred haunt! With joy awaited, Rebaptized at affection's font, Thy comfort and thine every want By love anticipated, Thy path a fragrant homage strewing, To higher aims thy spirit wooing, Where lofty souls admire thee, In all thy thinking and thy doing Nobly inspire thee.If in youth's vague, impetuous ways This boon be thine, Oh, sing its praise! And art thou of the gifted, Oh, sing it through thy nights and days, With voice uplifted!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
