MANS life is like a Sparrow, mighty King! That--while at banquet with your Chiefs you sit Housed near a blazing fire--is seen to flit Safe from the wintry tempest. Fluttering, Here did it enter; there, on hasty wing, Flies out, and passes on from cold to cold; But whence it came we know not, nor behold Whither it goes. Even such, that transient Thing, The human Soul; not utterly unknown While in the Body lodged, her warm abode; 10 But from what world She came, what woe or weal On her departure waits, no tongue hath shown; This mystery if the Stranger can reveal, His be a welcome cordially bestowed! --Wordsworth
