Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Captivity in Babylon and Other Poems Not through the maze of philosophic song, Nor o'er the wilds of metaphysic lore, Although to these unnumbered themes belong, The muse to-day on trembling wing would soar; - In homely guise she seeks to wander o'er The fields of simple Narrative again, And, taught by voices from the Past, to pour Her descant wild, commingled with the strain Which swept from Judah's harps o'er Babel's spacious plain.
