Unsolicited reply To a babbling wanderer sent; Like her ordinary cry, Like--but oh, how different! Hears not also mortal Life? Hear not we, unthinking Creatures! Slaves of folly, love, or strife-Voices of two different natures? Have not ‘we’ too? --yes, we have Answers, and we know not whence; Echoes from beyond the grave, Recognized intelligence! Such rebounds our inward ear Catches sometimes from afar-Listen, ponder, hold them dear; For of God, --of God they are. .
