For me, my heart, that erst did go Most like a tired child … — Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"For me, my heart, that erst did go Most like a tired child at a show, That sees through tears the mummers leap, Would now its wearied vision close, Would childlike on His love repose, Who giveth His Beloved, sleep."
