| |
| OUT of one heart the birds and I together, | |
| Earth hushed in twilight, | |
| Low through the live-oaks hung heavy with silver, | |
| Gemmed with the sky-light, | |
| Under the great wet star | 5 |
| Shaking with light, we jar | |
| Lute-voiced the silence with intervaled music. | |
| |
| While under the margined world the slow sun lingers, | |
| Flaming earth’s portal, | |
| Over the lilac dusk spreads his great fingers— | 10 |
| Earth is immortal! | |
| While the frail beauty dies. | |
| Dream in the dreamer’s eyes, | |
| All the good gladness turns praise for the singers. | |
| |
| Hark, ’tis the breath of life! Hush! and I need it; | 15 |
| Northern, gigantic,— | |
| Questing the silences, herding the sudden foam | |
| Down the Atlantic; | |
| Leaves from the autumn’s store | |
| Shrill at my desert door, | 20 |
| They and I out of one heart that is grieving. | |
