CLARIONS
O glorious Day, thy shining, how it shines!
Thy feet dew-washed 'mid film of turf dew-white;
Thy head anointed with a regal light
That drips in oil and amber down the pines.
Thy feet dew-washed 'mid film of turf dew-white;
Thy head anointed with a regal light
That drips in oil and amber down the pines.
Behold, how great a force thou dost employ,
Scouring our very souls, as trumpeter
The inside of his trumpet, to confer
A brilliancy on our wide blasts of joy!
Scouring our very souls, as trumpeter
The inside of his trumpet, to confer
A brilliancy on our wide blasts of joy!
We ring with music; and far over Death
Our notes are heard, as sliding thunder-rolls,
Through the gold mountains where Love's deathless souls
Our notes are heard, as sliding thunder-rolls,
Through the gold mountains where Love's deathless souls
Listen and heave more roundly their hearts' breath.
O Day, and of thy infinite power the rush
Back of their breathing when our clarions hush!
O Day, and of thy infinite power the rush
Back of their breathing when our clarions hush!
