Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

Up And Away For Life! Be Fleet!-
The Frost-king Ties My Fumbling Feet,
Sings In My Ears, My Hands Are Stones,
Curdles The Blood To The Marble Bones,
Tugs At The Heart-strings, Numbs The Sense,
And Hems In Life With Narrowing Fence.
Well, In This Broad Bed Lie And Sleep,-
The Punctual Stars Will Vigil Keep,-
Embalmed By Purifying Cold;
The Winds Shall Sing Their Dead-march Old,
The Snow Is No Ignoble Shroud,
The Moon Thy Mourner, And The Cloud.
