VIII

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880
Part of Human Life's Misery

Yet, touching so, they draw above

      Our common thoughts to Heaven's unknown—

Our daily joy and pain, advance

To a divine significance,—

Our human love—O mortal love,

      That light is not its own!
