St. Lawrence and the Saguenay, The - Part 107
Who shook my being as the autumn winds
Shake down the timid leaves. Loved-one! I hear
The voice within syllabl'ing words that bind
Our souls, and blend them for a nobler sphere
Of usefulness and action — year by year
Ascending in the scale of being, far
Above the trifling mind's obscure career,
And mounting to Perfection, like a star
For whose triumphant flight heaven's crystalline gates unbar.
Shake down the timid leaves. Loved-one! I hear
The voice within syllabl'ing words that bind
Our souls, and blend them for a nobler sphere
Of usefulness and action — year by year
Ascending in the scale of being, far
Above the trifling mind's obscure career,
And mounting to Perfection, like a star
For whose triumphant flight heaven's crystalline gates unbar.
