Songs
of the Sea Children
by
Bliss Carman
|
XXIX
|
|
Up
from the kindled pines,
Lo, the lord Sun!
What shall his children find
When day is done?
Ere
thy feet follow him
|
5 |
Over
the sea,
Love, turn thy glorious
Eyes once to me!
High
in the burning noon,
Lo, the lord Sun
|
10 |
Sleeps,
with his hand slack,
His girdle undone.
Ere
thy feet follow him
Over the hill,
Love, lace thy heart to mine,
|
15 |
Time
has stood still.
Down
by the valley-night
Sings the great sea;
Over the mountain rim
Day walks for thee. |
20 |
Ere thy feet follow him
Into far lands,
Love, lift thy mouth to me
Up through thy hands!
Well
do they journey
|
25 |
Who
joy as they go;
Hear his hills whispering,
"So, it is so."
Ere
thy feet follow him
Into far lands,
|
30 |
Love,
lift thy mouth to me
Up through thy hands!
Well do they journey
Who joy as they go;
Hear his hills whispering,
|
35 |
| "So,
it is so."
Ere thy feet follow him
Down to the shade,
Love, loose thy zone to me,
Mistress and maid!
|
40 |
Down to the kindling pines,
Lo, the lord Sun
Goes unreluctant
And day is done. |
