Alec Derwent Hope - The Gateway

Alec Derwent Hope - The Gateway

Now the heart sings with all its thousand voices br To hear this city of cells, my body, sing. br The tree through the stiff clay at long last forces br Its thin strong roots and taps the secret spring. br br And the sweet waters without intermission br Climb to the tips of its green tenement; br The breasts have borne the grace of their possession, br The lips have felt the pressure of content. br br Here I come home: in this expected country br They know my name and speak it with delight. br I am the dream and you my gates of entry, br The means by which I waken into light.
