Midsummer	A
We have heard many sermons you and I	B
And many more may hear	C
When sitting quiet in cathedral nave	D
With folded palms and faces meek and grave	D
But few like this one dear	E
	-
We ofttimes watch together 'fore the veil	F
With reverent gleaming eyes	G
While priestly hands are busy with the folds	H
And pant to see the holy place which holds	H
Life's dreadest mysteries	I
We watch weak foolish fingers straying o'er	A
The broidered boss to grasp	J
Vaguely at some small end of thread and twist	K
And shake the glorious pattern into mist	K
And leave us nought to clasp	J
	-
We watch with eyes dilated some strong hand	L
Of nerve and muscle trace	M
The grand faint outlines erewhile undefined	N
To our slow earth enfolded sense and find	N
The great design the shadow from behind	N
Dawning before our face	M
	-
But seldom do we see dear you and I	B
The pattern melt in light	O
And all the shine flow out on us uncheck'd	P
With eyes of soul and not of intellect	P
As we did see that night	O
	-
It was a summer night the sun was low	Q
But overlaid the sea	R
And made gold crystals of the wet sea sand	L
And drew our shadows short upon the strand	L
That stretched out shallowly	Q
	-
It was a Sunday night far off we heard	S
The solemn vesper chime	T
From some grey wind swept steeple by the shore	U
Chanting For ev er more for ev er more	U
While the deep sea beat time	T
	-
We wandered far that night dear you and I	B
	-
	-
	-
	-
	-
We wandered out of reach	V
Until the golden distances grew grey	W
And narrowed in the glory as it lay	W
'Mid horizon and beach	V
	-
We wandered far along the lonely waste	X
Where seldom foot had trod	Y
The world behind us dared not to intrude	Z
The summer silence and the solitude	Z
Were only filled with God	Y
	-
We sat down on the sand there you and I	B
We sat down awed and dumb	A2
And watched the fiery circle fall and fall	Q
Through solemn folds of purple and the small	Q
Soft ripples go and come	A2
	-
There was not wind enough to stir the reeds	B2
Around us nor to curl	Q
The sheeny dimpled surface of the deep	C2
The waters murmured low as half in sleep	C2
With measured swish and swirl	Q
	-
Two sea birds came and dabbled in the pools	D2
And cried their plaintive cry	B
As their strong wings swept o'er us as we sat	E2
No profanation of the stillness that	E2
But added sanctity	R
	-
They flecked the crimson shallows with black streaks	F2
Low wheeling to and fro	Q
Crying their bold sweet cry as knowing well	Q
It was a place where God not man did dwell	Q
A father not a foe	Q
	-
	-
Ah we hear many sermons you and I	B
The poor words fall and drown	G2
But this whose speech was silence this has stirred	S
The stream of years and aye it will be heard	S
As when that sun went down	G2
