AFTER LIFE'S FITFUL FEVERMy mind no longer loves philosophyNo longer seeks delight in poetry,Contemns the paths of doubt so often trod,And yearns to be united with its God.
What folly 'tis o'er musty texts to brood,Or charm with plays and songs the idle mood!All fancies vain my soul hath flung aside,Resolved in Siva only to confide.
