Lord God of heaven that with mercy dight br Th'alternate prayer wheel of the night and light br Eternal hath to thee, and in whose sight br Our days as rain drops in the sea surge fall, br br As bright white drops upon a leaden sea br Grant so my songs to this grey folk may be: br br As drops that dream and gleam and falling catch the sun br Evan'scent mirrors every opal one br Of such his splendor as their compass is, br So, bold My Songs, seek ye such death as this.
