<h3 id="The_Prophet">The Prophet</h3>
<p>HE trod upon the heights; the rarer air<br/>
Which common people seek, yet cannot bear,<br/>
Fed his high soul and kindled in his eye<br/>
The fire of one who cries “I prophesy!”</p>
<p>“Look up!” he said. They looked but could not see.<br/>
“Help us!” they cried. He strove, but uselessly—<br/>
The very clouds which veiled the heaven they sought<br/>
Hid from his eyes the hearts of them he taught!</p>
