A fellow called the Wind | B |
With mystery before | A |
And reticence behind | B |
- | |
A portal waits me too | C |
In the glad house of spring | D |
One day I shall pass through | C |
And leave you wondering | D |
- | |
It lies beyond the marge | E |
Of evening or of prime | F |
Silent and dim and large | E |
The gateway of all time | F |
- | |
There troop by night and day | G |
My brothers of the field | H |
And I shall know the way | G |
Their woodsongs have revealed | H |
- | |
The dusk will hold some trace | I |
Of all my radiant crew | C |
Who vanished to that place | I |
Ephemeral as dew | C |
- | |
Into the twilight dun | J |
Blue moth and dragon fly | K |
Adventuring alone | L |
Shall be more brave than I | K |
- | |
There innocents shall bloom | M |
And the white cherry tree | N |
With birch and willow plume | M |
To strew the road for me | N |

The wilding orioles then | O |
Shall make the golden air | P |
Heavy with joy again | O |
And the dark heart shall dare | P |
- | |
Resume the old desire | Q |
The exigence of spring | D |
To be the orange fire | Q |
That tips the world's gray wing | D |

And the lone wood bird Hark | R |
The whippoorwill night long | S |
Threshing the summer dark | R |
With his dim flail of song | S |
- | |
Shall be the lyric lift | T |
When all my senses creep | U |
To bear me through the rift | T |
In the blue range of sleep | U |
- | |
And so I pass beyond | V |
The solace of your hand | W |
But ah so brave and fond | V |
Within that morrow land | W |
- | |
Where deed and daring fail | X |
But joy forevermore | Q |
Shall tremble and prevail | X |
Against the narrow door | Q |
- | |
Where sorrow knocks too late | Y |
And grief is overdue | C |
Beyond the granite gate | Y |
There will be thoughts of you | C |
