A FAREWELL
I look on wood and hill and sky,
Yet without any tears
To the warm earth I bid good-bye
For what unnumbered years.
Yet without any tears
To the warm earth I bid good-bye
For what unnumbered years.
So many times my spirit went
This dark transfiguring way,
Nor ever knew what dying meant,
Deep night or a new day.
This dark transfiguring way,
Nor ever knew what dying meant,
Deep night or a new day.
So many times it went and came,
Deeper than thought it knows
Unto what majesty of flame
In what wide heaven it goes.
Deeper than thought it knows
Unto what majesty of flame
In what wide heaven it goes.
