<h2><SPAN name="an_Inquiry"></SPAN>An Inquiry</h2>
<p class="poem p2">Speak, O speak, my angel fair,<br/>
Is there sadness everywhere—<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Folly where the flower
feedeth</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 4em;">Rapids where the river
leadeth</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 8em;">To delight?</span><br/></p>
<p class="poem p1">Is there, is there anything<br/>
An eternal joy can bring—<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">What is real and what but
seemeth</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Like a dream a dreamer
dreameth</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 5em;">Thru the night?</span><br/></p>
<p class="poem p1">Can there be, Angel of Love<br/>
Can there be bright homes above—<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">What is Life—and when it
endeth</span><br/>
<span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</SPAN></span>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">What is Death—why it
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">descendeth</span></span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 5em;">I implore?</span><br/></p>
<p class="poem p1">Tell me, Angel, can it be<br/>
That thy hand is leading me—<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Tell me, are these seraphs
singing</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Up in heaven, gladness
bringing</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 5em;">Evermore?</span></p>
