HE came unlook’d for, undesir’d, <br />A sunrise in the northern sky, <br />More than the brightest dawn admir’d, <br />To shine and then forever fly. <br /> <br />His love, conferr’d without a claim, <br />Perchance was like the fitful blaze, <br />Which lives to light a steadier flame, <br />And, while that strengthens, fast decays. <br /> <br />Glad fawn along the forest springing, <br />Gay birds that breeze-like stir the leaves, <br />Why hither haste, no message bringing, <br />To solace one that deeply grieves? <br /> <br />Thou star that dost the skies adorn, <br />So brightly heralding the day, <br />Bring one more welcome than the morn, <br />Or still in night’s dark prison stay.<br /><br />Sara Coleridge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-phantasmion-he-came-unlook-d-for/
