Intimations

“Who has seen the Wind?”--CHRISTINA ROSSETTI.

I have seen the Wind, I have seen him plain-- The silver feet of the Wind Racing on the rain.

I have seen Time pass: Viewless as he sped, The red sand in the glass Was shaken by his tread.

Far, far the goal, And hearts must part awhile-- But I have seen the Soul Shining through a smile.

Dim, dim the plan, And dumb is the clod: But in the eyes of Man I have seen--God.
