Travellers (1895)
He is the happy wanderer, who goes,Singing upon the way, with eyes awakeTo every scene, with ears alert to takeThe sweetness of all sounds; who loves and knowsThe secrets of the highway, and the roseHolds fairer for the wounds that briars make.

It may be we shall know in the hereafterWhy we, begetting hopes, give birth to fears,And why the world's too beautiful for laughter,Too gross for tears.
