A VISION OF ST. ELIGIUS.

George MacDonald

I see thy house, but I am blown about, A wind-mocked kite, between the earth and sky, All out of doors — alas! of thy doors out, And drenched in dews no summer suns can dry.

For every blast is passion of my own; The dews cold sweats of selfish agony; Dank vapour steams from memories lying prone; And all my soul is but a stifled cry.
