For that dream's sake! How forget the thrill
Through and through me as I thought "The gladlier
Lives my friend because I love him still!"

Peep at hide-and-seek behind the shutters?
Mean your eyes should pierce through solid bricks?

Lay on you the blame that bricks—conceal?
Say 'At least I saw who did not see me,
Does see now, and presently shall feel?'"
