Shelley | A |
- | |
I | - |
- | |
Out of the dawning heavens that hear | B |
Young wings and feet of the new year | C |
Move through their twilight and shed round | D |
Soft showers of sound | D |
Soothing the season with sweet rain | E |
If greeting come to make me fain | E |
What is it I can send again | F |
- | |
- | |
- | |
I know not if the year shall send | G |
Tidings to usward as a friend | G |
And salutation and such things | H |
Bear on his wings | H |
As the soul turns and thirsts unto | I |
With hungering eyes and lips that sue | I |
For that sweet food which makes all new | I |
- | |
- | |
- | |
I know not if his light shall be | A |
Darkness or else light verily | A |
I know but that it will not part | J |
Heart's faith from heart | J |
Truth from the trust in truth nor hope | K |
From sight of days unscaled that ope | K |
Beyond one poor year's horoscope | K |
- | |
- | |
- | |
That faith in love which love's self gives | L |
O master of my spirit lives | L |
Having in presence unremoved | J |
Thine head beloved | J |
The shadow of thee the semitone | I |
Of thy voice heard at heart and known | I |
The light of thee not set nor flown | I |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Seas lands and hours can these divide | J |
Love from love's service side from side | J |
Though no sound pass nor breath be heard | J |
Of one good word | J |
To send back words of trust to thee | A |
Were to send wings to love when he | A |
With his own strong wings covers me | A |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Who shall teach singing to the spheres | M |
Or motion to the flight of years | M |
Let soul with soul keep hand in hand | J |
And understand | J |
As in one same abiding place | N |
We keep one watch for one same face | N |
To rise in some short sacred space | N |
- | |
- | |
- | |
And all space midway is but nought | J |
To keep true heart from faithful thought | J |
As under twilight stars we wait | J |
By Time's shut gate | J |
Till the slow soundless hinges turn | I |
And through the depth of years that yearn | I |
The face of the Republic burn | I |
