In the light of the silent stars that shine on the struggling seaA
In the weary cry of the wind and the whisper of flower and treeA
Under the breath of laughter deep in the tide of tearsB
I hear the Loom of the Weaver that weaves the Web of YearsC
-
The leaves of the winter wither and sink in the forest mouldD
To colour the flowers of April with purple and white and goldD
Light and scent and music die and are born againE
In the heart of a grey haired woman who wakes in a world of painF
-
The hound the fawn and the hawk and the doves that croon and cooG
We are all one woof of the weaving and the one warp threads us throughG
One flying cloud on the shuttle that carries our hopes and fearsC
As it goes thro the Loom of the Weaver that weaves the Web of YearsC
-
The green uncrumpling fern and the rustling dewdrenched roseH
Pass with our hearts to the Silence where the wings of music closeI
Pass and pass to the Timeless that never a moment marsJ
Pass and pass to the Darkness that made the suns and starsJ
-
Has the soul gone out in the Darkness Is the dust sealed from sightK
Ah hush for the woof of the ages returns thro the warp of the nightK
Never that shuttle loses one thread of our hopes and fearsC
As it comes thro the Loom of the Weaver that weaves the Web of YearsC
-
O woven in one wide Loom thro the throbbing weft of the wholeL
One in spirit and flesh one in body and soulL
Tho the leaf were alone in its falling the bird in its hour to dieM
The heart in its muffled anguish the sea in its mournful cryM
-
One with the flower of a day one with the withered moonN
One with the granite mountains that melt into the noonN
One with the dream that triumphs beyond the light of the spheresC
We come from the Loom of the Weaver that weaves the Web of YearsC
