FOR BRIAN WHEN HE IS GROWN UP THIS HANDFUL OF THE NUTS OF KNOWLEDGE I HAVE GATHERED ON THE SECRET STREAMSA

-
I thought beloved to have brought to youB
A gift of quietness and ease and peaceC
Cooling your brow as with the mystic dewB
Dropping from twilight treesD
-
Homeward I go not yet the darkness growsE
Not mine the voice to still with peace divineF
From the first fount the stream of quiet flowsE
Through other hearts than mineF
-
Yet of my night I give to you the starsG
And of my sorrow here the sweetest gainsH
And out of hell beyond its iron barsG
My scorn of all its painsH

George William Russell
