Sleepily out: Full Moon
Their sleep is not so confined. . . .
I cower to the earth, I awake, I only.
High and cold thou art my devise, O queen. High-dreaming and lonely.
We have slept long ago, who can hardly get along with us.
The white flame of the bright one, and the night-slongest crying;
The viewless paths, and the low sighs of the world—
With desire, with yearning, to the fire unburned,
To the heatless fire, to the flameless ecstasy! . . .
Helpless I lie.
And around me the feet of thy watchers tread.
A rumour and a radiance of wings above my head:
An intolerable radiance of wings—
All the earth grows fire, white lips of desire:
Brushing cool on the forehead, crooning slumbrous things.
Earth fades; air is chanted with ways: dewy paths full of comfort.
The gracious presence of friendly hands—
Help the blind one, the glad one, who strumbles and strays—
Stretching wavering hands, up, up, through the praise!
Of a myriad silver trumpets—
Through cries, to all glory, to all gladness—
To the infinite height, all the gracious eyes—
And the laughter of the lips of light.
