The wild winds coldly blow
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go."

The changing heaven, the breezy weather.

EPIGRAPH: So stood I, in Heaven's glorious sun,
And in the glare of Hell;
My spirit drank a mingled tone,
Of seraph's song, and demon's moan;
What my soul bore, my soul alone
Within itself may tell!

EPIGRAPH: Oh dreadful is the check -- intense the agony --
When the ear begins to hear, and the eye begins to see;
When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again;
The soul to feel the flesh, and the flesh to feel the chain.

EPIGRAPH: But, when the days of golden dreams had perished,
And even Despair was powerless to destroy;
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished,
Strengthened, and fed without the aid of joy.

EPIGRAPH: When you were far beyond the sea,
Such thoughts were tyrants over me!
I often sat, for hours together,
Through the long nights of angry weather,
Raised on my pillow, to descry
The dim moon struggling in the sky.

From those brown hills have melted into spring --
Faithful indeed is the spirit that remembers...
