The voice that breathed o'er Eden, That earliest wedding day.
Give us grace to listen well.
Time's waters will not ebb nor stay.
Peace is the first thing the angels sang.
For as fire is kindled by fire, so is a poet's mind kindled by contact with a brother poet.
Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear, It is not night if thou be near. Oh, may no earthborn cloud arise To hide thee from thy servant's eyes.
