Metaphor in Context
I know the Kindred-Mind. 'Tis she, 'tis she;
Among the Heav'nly Forms I see
The Kindred-Mind from fleshly Bondage free;
O how unlike the thing was lately seen
Groaning and panting on the Bed,
With ghastly Air, and languish'd Head,
Life on this side, there the dead,
While the delaying Flesh lay shivering between!
Among the Heav'nly Forms I see
The Kindred-Mind from fleshly Bondage free;
O how unlike the thing was lately seen
Groaning and panting on the Bed,
With ghastly Air, and languish'd Head,
Life on this side, there the dead,
While the delaying Flesh lay shivering between!
