Wind-voices
(Excerpt from Wind-Voices
Pure souls that watch above me ...)
Excerpt from Wind-Voices
Pure souls that watch above me from afar,
To whom as to the stars I raise my eyes,
Draw me to your large skies,
Where God and quiet are.
Love's mouth is rose-red, and his voice is sweet,
His feet are winged, his eyes are as clear fire;
But I have no desire
To follow his winged feet.
Friendships may change, or friends may pass away,
And Fame's a bride that men soon weary of;
Since rest is not with Love,
No joy that is may stay.
But they whose lives are pure, whose hearts are high
Those shining spirits by the world untamed,
May, at the end, unshamed,
Look on their days gone by.
O pure, strong souls, so star-like, calm, and bright,
If even I before the end might feel,
Through quiet pulses, steal
Your pureness - with purged sight
