To Victor Collier.
O haunted moorlands, haunted heights,
Beloved by haunted wind and sea!
Your dreams have been my long delights,
Your voices have rung clear to me.
Beloved by haunted wind and sea!
Your dreams have been my long delights,
Your voices have rung clear to me.
O land of ghostly loveliness!
At thy gray Crosses kneeling, I
Fear nought of death: my strong joys press
Far beyond death, and long to die:
At thy gray Crosses kneeling, I
Fear nought of death: my strong joys press
Far beyond death, and long to die:
To die, and after fire to live
Evermore white and perfected.
Mine the vast faith, that thou canst give:
Thou, and thine immemorial dead.
Evermore white and perfected.
Mine the vast faith, that thou canst give:
Thou, and thine immemorial dead.
1894.
