3d ROSSETTL Within thy House of Life forevermore My footsteps wander, restless, to and fro; The sunlight plays upon the marble floor. The shadows dance and flicker as I go. In these wide halls, adorned with all things fair, Th}- winged fancy brightest visions sees ; And here, where music dies upon the air, Methinks I see thy Pleasure lie at ease. But ia thy House of Life I seek in vain, A little chamber where the Heart may rest — A bird, that tappeth on thy window-pane, And seeketh dumbl)-, where to make her nest. In all the fullness of thy destiny, In verj ' truth, thou hast no room for me ! 14
