De Profundis
Oh why is heaven built so far
Oh why is earth set so remote?
I cannot reach the nearest star
That hangs afloat.
I would not care to reach the moon
One round monotonous of change
Yet even she repeats her tune
Beyond my range.
I never watch the scattered fire
Of stars or sun's far-trailing train
But all my heart is one desire
And all in vain.
For I am bound with fleshly bands
Joy beauty lie beyond my scope
I strain my heart I stretch my hands
And catch at hope.
Christina Rossetti
