O my peace, O well br So deep no thought could sound it, br Whence arose thy spell br When in my heart I found it? br br Like a coral isle br That long silent grew br From deepest deeps, the while br Slept or stormed the blue, br br Emerging to enfold br Peace answering the skies, br And ringed with rock, where rolled br All day the white surge cries, br br Till from isles unknown br Far on spicy air br Seeds in secret blown br Sprang to beauty there. br br O my love, my sky, br That with soft breath broughtest br Bloom that cannot die, br Of my life thou wroughtest br br Such an isle that rings br A peace within so dear, br Howe'er the strong world flings, br Without, his surges drear, br br To my heart, whose core br Thy love in joy entrances, br Like music the world's baffled roar br Only this peace enhances.
