DEDICATION
03:40
|
|||
The white rose my soul
Is blown upon the ways.
Over the high earth
Valleys bring it forth,
And it is found upon mountains.
The white rose my soul
Knoweth all winds and wings,
All nests, all songs,
With each smiling star,
And every graceful day.
The white rose my soul
Is under the world’s feet.
((only thou dost hold,
In that how little hand,
The red rose my heart.)

up into the silence
05:42
|
|||
up into the silence the green
silence with a white earth in it
you will(kiss me)go
out into the morning the young
morning with a warm world in it
(kiss me)you will go
on into the sunlight the fine
sunlight with a firm day in it
you will go(kiss me
down into your memory and
a memory and memory
i)kiss me(will go)

Let it go
02:20
|
|||
let it go—the
smashed word broken
open vow or
the oath cracked length
wise—let it go it
was sworn to
go
let them go—the
truthful liars and
the false fair friends
and the boths and
neithers—you must let them go they
were born
to go
let all go—the
big small middling
tall bigger really
the biggest and all
things—let all go
dear
so comes love

love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
it is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive
it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky
|
||||

may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it’s sunday may I be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there’s never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile

love's absence
05:16
|
|||
love’s absence is illusion,alias time
(a shadowy hell whose inmates war to seize
each nothing which all greedy wraiths proclaim
substance;all frenzied spectres,happiness)
lovers alone wear sunlight. The whole truth
(not hid by matter;not by mind revealed)
which never was by any living death
or dying life(and never will be)told
sings only—and all lovers are the song.
Here(only here)is freedom;always here
no then of winter equals now of spring
but april’s day transcends november’s year
(eternity being so sans until,
twice i have lived forever in a smile)

I have looked upon thee
04:12
|
|||
I have looked upon thee—and I have loved thee,
Loved thy mouth, whose curve is the moon’s young crescent
Loved thy beauty-blossoming eyes, and eyelids
Petal-like, perfect;
I would brush the dew in a flashing rainbow
From thy face’s twain mysterious flowers,
And, supremely throned on the lips’ full luna,
Soar into Heaven.

BENEDICTION
03:19
|
|||
When my life his pillar has raised to heaven
When my soul has bleeded and builded wonders,
When my love of earth has begot fair poems,
Let me not linger.
Ere my day be troubled of coming darkness,
While the huge whole sky is elate with glory,
Let me rise, and making my salutation,
Stride into sunset.
