paused to shut the door | B |
A fellow called the Wind | C |
With mystery before | B |
And reticence behind | C |
- | |
A portal waits me too | D |
In the glad house of spring | E |
One day I shall pass through | D |
And leave you wondering | E |
- | |
It lies beyond the marge | F |
Of evening or of prime | G |
Silent and dim and large | F |
The gateway of all time | G |
- | |
There troop by night and day | H |
My brothers of the field | I |
And I shall know the way | H |
Their woodsongs have revealed | I |
- | |
The dusk will hold some trace | J |
Of all my radiant crew | D |
Who vanished to that place | J |
Ephemeral as dew | D |
- | |
Into the twilight dun | K |
Blue moth and dragon fly | L |
Adventuring alone | M |
Shall be more brave than I | L |
- | |
There innocents shall bloom | N |
And the white cherry tree | O |
With birch and willow plume | N |
To strew the road for me | O |
- | |
The wilding orioles then | P |
Shall make the golden air | A |
Heavy with joy again | P |
And the dark heart shall dare | A |
- | |
Resume the old desire | Q |
The exigence of spring | E |
To be the orange fire | Q |
That tips the world's gray wing | E |
- | |
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 | D |
Beyond the granite gate | Y |
There will be thoughts of you | D |
