    BRIGHT LIFE “ /~^°ME, now,” I said, “put off these webs of death, Distract this leaden yearning of thine eyes From lichened banks of peace, sad mysteries Of dust fall’n-in where passed the flitting breath: Turn thy sick thoughts from him that slumbereth In moulder’d linen to the living skies. The sun s bright-clouded principalities. The salt deliciousness the sea-breeze hath! Lay thy warm hand on earth’s cold clods and think What exquisite greenness sprouts from these to grace The moving fields of summer; on the brink Of arched waves the sea-horizon trace Whence wheels night’s galaxy; and in silence sink Thy pride in rapture of life’s dwelling-place ! ” Walter J. De la Mare.
