"And far as sweep the seas below, His sails are on the deep; And far as yonder eagles go, His flag on every keep;

"LOVE, _thou_ art not a king alone, Both slave and king thou art! Who seeks to sway, must stoop to own The kingdom of a heart!"

So sigh'd the Maid, the linden near, Beneath the lonely sky; Oh, lonely _not_!--for angels hear The humblest human sigh!
