The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 29

Thomas Gordon Hake's "New Symbols."

Thomas Gordon Hake's "New Symbols."

Who now stands by with bosom-veiling hair
Whose sentient tresses ripple as as they hide
The noble blush that says her face is fair?
Is this philosophy
That doubts the more the nearer to the end?
Is this how the philosopher should die,
Still dubious if the soul may live again
Or with the dead incurious remain?
In youth when a beloved maiden's glance
Could overbrim the present with content.
