A GIRL
TOO strange, too far a thing to hold,Our fingers slip, and let you go;—A white, long flower high on a cliff,With peril of the sea below.
We cannot match you as you are,With aught or all within our reach;Match shadows on an April pool?Or moonlight rendered into speech?
You herd the stars up in the sky,In silver smock, with a tall rod,And to your arms, as shepherds do,Gather the little lambs of God.
