Waking
O THE long dawn, the weary, endless dawn,
When sleep's oblivion is torn away
From love that died with dying yesterday
But still unburied in the heart lies on!
O the sick grey, the twitter in the trees,
The sense of human waking over earth!
The memories of love's fair quivering birth
Now strewn as deathless flowers on its decease!
O the regret, and oh, regretlessness,
Striving for sovreignty within the soul!
Oh, fear that life shall nevermore be whole,
And immortality but make it less!
When sleep's oblivion is torn away
From love that died with dying yesterday
But still unburied in the heart lies on!
O the sick grey, the twitter in the trees,
The sense of human waking over earth!
The memories of love's fair quivering birth
Now strewn as deathless flowers on its decease!
O the regret, and oh, regretlessness,
Striving for sovreignty within the soul!
Oh, fear that life shall nevermore be whole,
And immortality but make it less!
