Send the stars light but send not love to meA
ShelleyA
-
I-
-
Out of the dawning heavens that hearB
Young wings and feet of the new yearC
Move through their twilight and shed roundD
Soft showers of soundD
Soothing the season with sweet rainE
If greeting come to make me fainE
What is it I can send againF
-
-
-
I know not if the year shall sendG
Tidings to usward as a friendG
And salutation and such thingsH
Bear on his wingsH
As the soul turns and thirsts untoI
With hungering eyes and lips that sueI
For that sweet food which makes all newI
-
-
-
I know not if his light shall beA
Darkness or else light verilyA
I know but that it will not partJ
Heart's faith from heartJ
Truth from the trust in truth nor hopeK
From sight of days unscaled that opeK
Beyond one poor year's horoscopeK
-
-
-
That faith in love which love's self givesL
O master of my spirit livesL
Having in presence unremovedJ
Thine head belovedJ
The shadow of thee the semitoneI
Of thy voice heard at heart and knownI
The light of thee not set nor flownI
-
-
-
Seas lands and hours can these divideJ
Love from love's service side from sideJ
Though no sound pass nor breath be heardJ
Of one good wordJ
To send back words of trust to theeA
Were to send wings to love when heA
With his own strong wings covers meA
-
-
-
Who shall teach singing to the spheresM
Or motion to the flight of yearsM
Let soul with soul keep hand in handJ
And understandJ
As in one same abiding placeN
We keep one watch for one same faceN
To rise in some short sacred spaceN
-
-
-
And all space midway is but noughtJ
To keep true heart from faithful thoughtJ
As under twilight stars we waitJ
By Time's shut gateJ
Till the slow soundless hinges turnI
And through the depth of years that yearnI
The face of the Republic burnI

Algernon Charles Swinburne
