<h2>XII.<br/><small>RETRIEVAL.</small></h2>
<div class="poetry-container">
<div class="poetry">
<div class="verse">Stars in the bosom of thy triple tide,</div>
<div class="verse">June air and ivy on thy gracile stone,</div>
<div class="verse">O glory of the West, as thou wert sown,</div>
<div class="verse">Be perfect: O miraculous, abide!</div>
<div class="verse">And still, for greatness flickering from thy side,</div>
<div class="verse">Eternal alchemist, upraise, enthrone</div>
<div class="verse">True heirs in true succession, later blown</div>
<div class="verse">From that same seed of fire which never died.</div>
<div class="verse">Nor love shall lack her solace, to behold</div>
<div class="verse">Ranged to the morrow’s melancholy verge,</div>
<div class="verse">Thy lights uprisen in Thought’s disclosing spaces;</div>
<div class="verse">And round some beacon-spirit, stable, old,</div>
<div class="verse">In radiant broad tumultuary surge</div>
<div class="verse">For ever, the young voices, the young faces.</div>
