“Thou little Child, yet glorious in the might
Of heaven-born freedom on thy being’s height,
Why with such earnest pains dost thou provoke
The years to bring the inevitable yoke,”

Return to my mind with stranger pain:
Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
Who left the house so many years ago.”
