A
am homesick after mine own kindB
Oh I know that there are folk about me friendly facesC
But I am homesick after mine own kindB
-
'These sell our pictures' Oh wellD
They reach me not touch me some edge or thatE
But reach me not and all my life's becomeF
One flame that reaches not beyondG
My heart's own hearthH
Or hides among the ashes there for theeI
Thee' Oh 'Thee' is who cometh firstJ
Out of mine own soul kinK
For I am homesick after mine own kindB
And ordinary people touch me notL
And I am homesickM
After mine own kind that know and feelN
And have some breath for beauty and the artsO
-
Aye I am wistful for my kin of the spiritP
And have none about me save in the shadowsQ
When come they surging of power 'DAEMON '-
'Quasi KALOUN ' S T says Beauty is most that aR
'calling to the soul'N
Well then so call they the swirlers out of the mist of my soulN
They that come mewards bearing old magicM
-
But for all that I am homesick after mine own kindB
And would meet kindred even as I amS
Flesh shrouded bearing the secretP
'All they that with strange sadness'Q
Have the earth in mockery and are kind to allN
My fellows aye I know the gloryI
Of th' unbounded ones but ye that hideT
As I hide most the whileN
And burst forth to the windows only whiles or whilesQ
For love or hope or beauty or for powerU
Then smoulder with the lids half closedV
And are untouched by echoes of the worldW
-
Oh ye my fellows with the seas between us some beI
Purple and sapphire for the silver shaftsQ
Of sun and spray all shattered at the bowsQ
And some the hills hold offX
The little hills to east of us though here weI
Have damp and plain to be our shutting inK
-
And yet my soul sings Up ' and we are oneY
Yea thou and Thou and THOU and all my kinK
To whom my breast and arms are ever warmZ
For that I love ye as the wind the treesQ
That holds their blossoms and their leaves in cureA2
And calls the utmost singing from the boughsQ
That Hhout him save the aspen were as dumbF
Still shade and bade no whisper speak the birds of howB2
'Beyond beyond beyond there lies '-

Ezra Pound
