am homesick after mine own kind | B |
Oh I know that there are folk about me friendly faces | C |
But I am homesick after mine own kind | B |
- | |
'These sell our pictures' Oh well | D |
They reach me not touch me some edge or that | E |
But reach me not and all my life's become | F |
One flame that reaches not beyond | G |
My heart's own hearth | H |
Or hides among the ashes there for thee | I |
Thee' Oh 'Thee' is who cometh first | J |
Out of mine own soul kin | K |
For I am homesick after mine own kind | B |
And ordinary people touch me not | L |
And I am homesick | M |
After mine own kind that know and feel | N |
And have some breath for beauty and the arts | O |
- | |
Aye I am wistful for my kin of the spirit | P |
And have none about me save in the shadows | Q |
When come they surging of power 'DAEMON ' | - |
'Quasi KALOUN ' S T says Beauty is most that a | R |
'calling to the soul' | N |
Well then so call they the swirlers out of the mist of my soul | N |
They that come mewards bearing old magic | M |
- | |
But for all that I am homesick after mine own kind | B |
And would meet kindred even as I am | S |
Flesh shrouded bearing the secret | P |
'All they that with strange sadness' | Q |
Have the earth in mockery and are kind to all | N |
My fellows aye I know the glory | I |
Of th' unbounded ones but ye that hide | T |
As I hide most the while | N |
And burst forth to the windows only whiles or whiles | Q |
For love or hope or beauty or for power | U |
Then smoulder with the lids half closed | V |
And are untouched by echoes of the world | W |
- | |
Oh ye my fellows with the seas between us some be | I |
Purple and sapphire for the silver shafts | Q |
Of sun and spray all shattered at the bows | Q |
And some the hills hold off | X |
The little hills to east of us though here we | I |
Have damp and plain to be our shutting in | K |
- | |
And yet my soul sings Up ' and we are one | Y |
Yea thou and Thou and THOU and all my kin | K |
To whom my breast and arms are ever warm | Z |
For that I love ye as the wind the trees | Q |
That holds their blossoms and their leaves in cure | A2 |
And calls the utmost singing from the boughs | Q |
That Hhout him save the aspen were as dumb | F |
Still shade and bade no whisper speak the birds of how | B2 |
'Beyond beyond beyond there lies ' | - |
