III Odyle

We know that they are often near
 Of whom we think, of whom we talk,
Though we have missed them many a year,
 And lost them from our daily walk.

Some strange clairvoyance dwells in all,
 And webs the souls of human kind.
I would that I could learn its thrall,
 And know the power of mind on mind.

I then might quickly use the sense,
 To find where one I worship dwells,
If in the city, or if thence
 Among the breeze-rung lily bells.
