Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood

  • Poem

  • first line (public domain):
    There was a time when meadow, grove and stream,
    The earth, and every common sight,
                        To me did seem
                   Appareled in celestial light,
    The glory and the freshness of a dream.
    It is not now as it hath been of yore—
                   Turn whereso'er I may,
                        By night or day,
    The things which I have seen I now can see no more.
