Shut up the sea with doors�察�and made the glory
Of the clouds a covering for it��
manded His morning�察�and�察�behold� �chaos fled
Before the uplifted face of the sun��
Divided a water´course for the overflowing of waters��
Sent rain upon the earth´´
Upon the wilderness wherein there was no man��
Upon the desert where grew no tender herb��
And�察�lo� �there was greenness upon the plains��
And the hills were clothed with beauty��
_Out of the uncharted�察�unthinkable dark we came��
And in a little time we shall return again
Into the vast�察�unanswering dark。_
O Dark� �thou secret and inscrutable Dark��
In thy silent depths�察�the springs whereof man hath not fathomed��
God wrought the soul of man。
O Dark� �passionate�察�all´knowing Dark��
Tenderly�察�as shadows to the evening�察�es thy message to man。
Softly thou layest thy hand on his tired eyelids��
And his soul�察�weary and homesick�察�returns
Unto thy soothing embrace。
_Out of the uncharted�察�unthinkable dark we came��
And in a little time we shall return again
Into the vast�察�unanswering dark。_
O Dark� �wise�察�vital�察�thought´quickening Dark��
In thy mystery thou hidest the light
That is the soul's life。
Upon thy solitary shores I walk unafraid��
I dread no evil�察�though I walk in the valley of the shadow��
I shall not know the ecstasy of fear
When gentle Death leads me through life's open door��
When the bands of night are sundered��
And the day outpours its light。
_Out of the uncharted�察�unthinkable dark we came��
And in a little time we shall return again
Into the vast�察�unanswering dark。_
The timid soul�察�fear´driven�察�shuns the dark��
But upon the cheeks of him who must abide in shadow
Breathes the wind of rushing angel´wings��
And round him falls a light from unseen fires。
Magical beams glow athwart the darkness��
Paths of beauty wind through his black world
To another world of light��
Where no veil of sense shuts him out from Paradise。
_Out of the uncharted�察�unthinkable dark we came��
And in a little time we shall return again
Into the vast�察�unanswering dark。_
O Dark� �thou blessed�察�quiet Dark��
To the lone exile who must dwell with thee
Thou art benign and friendly��
From the harsh world thou dost shut him in��
To him thou whisperest the secrets of the wondrous night��
Upon him thou bestowest regions wide and boundless as his spirit��
Thou givest a glory to all humble things��
With thy hovering pinions thou coverest all unlovely objects��
Under thy brooding wings there is peace。
_Out of the uncharted�察�unthinkable dark we came��
And in a little time we shall return again
Into the vast�察�unanswering dark。_
II
Once in regions void of light I wandered��
In blank darkness I stumbled��
And fear led me by the hand��
My feet pressed earthward��
Afraid of pitfalls。
By many shapeless terrors of the night affrighted��
To the wakeful day
I held out beseeching arms。
Then came Love�察�bearing in her hand
The torch that is the light unto my feet��
And softly spoke Love�此 �Hast thou
Entered into the treasures of darkness��
Hast thou entered into the treasures of the night��
Search out thy blindness。 It holdeth
Riches past puting。;
The words of Love set my spirit aflame。
My eager fingers searched out the mysteries��
The splendours�察�the inmost sacredness�察�of things��
And in the vacancies discerned
With spiritual sense the fullness of life��
And the gates of Day stood wide。
I am shaken with gladness��
My limbs tremble with joy��
My heart and the earth
Tremble with happiness��
The ecstasy of life
Is abroad in the world。
Knowledge hath uncurtained heaven��
On the uttermost shores of darkness there is light��
Midnight hath sent forth a beam��
The blind that stumbled in darkness without light
Behold a new day��
In the obscurity gleams the star of Thought��
Imagination hath a luminous eye��
And the mind hath a glorious vision。
III
;The man is blind。 What is life to him��
A closed book held up against a sightless face。
Would that he could see
Yon beauteous star�察�and know
For one transcendent moment
The palpitating joy of sight� �
All sight is of the soul。
Behold it in the upward flight
Of the unfettered spirit� �Hast thou seen
Thought bloom in the blind child's face��
Hast thou seen his mind grow��
Like the running dawn�察�to grasp
The vision of the Master��
It was the miracle of inward sight。
In the realms of wonderment where I dwell
I explore life with my hands��
I recognize�察�and am happy��
My fingers are ever athirst for the earth��
And drink up its wonders with delight��
Draw out earth's dear delights��
My feet are charged with the murmur��
The throb�察�of all things that grow。
This is touch�察�this quivering��
This flame�察�this ether��
This glad rush of blood��
This daylight in my heart��
This glow of sympathy in my palms��
Thou blind�察�loving�察�all´prying touch��
Thou openest the book of life to me。
The noiseless little noises of the earth
e with softest rustle��
The shy�察�sweet feet of life��
The silky mutter of moth´wings
Against my restraining palm��
The strident beat of insect´wings��
The silvery trickle of water��
Little breezes busy in the summer grass��
The music of crisp�察�whisking�察�scurrying leaves��
The swirling�察�wind´swept�察�frost´tinted leaves��
The crystal splash of summer rain��
Saturate with the odours of the sod。
With alert fingers I listen
To the showers of sound
That the wind shakes from the forest。
I bathe in the liquid shade
Under the pines�察�where the air hangs cool
After the shower is done。
My saucy little friend the squirrel
Flips my shoulder with his tail��
Leaps from leafy billow to leafy billow��
Returns to eat his breakfast from my hand。
Between us there is glad sympathy��
He gambols�察�my pulses dance��
I am exultingly full of the joy of life��
Have not my fingers split the sand
On the sun´flooded beach��
Hath not my naked body felt the water sing
When the sea hath enveloped it
With rippling music��
Have I not felt
The lilt of waves beneath my boat��
The flap of sail��
The strain of mast��
The wild rush
Of the lightning´charged winds��
Have I not smelt the swift�察�keen flight
Of winged odours before the tempest��
Here is joy awake�察�aglow��
Here is the tumult of the heart。
My hands evoke sight and sound out of feeling��
Intershifting the senses endlessly��
Linking motion with sight�察�odour with sound
They give colour to the honeyed breeze��
The measure and passion of a symphony
To the beat and quiver of unseen wings。
In the secrets of earth and sun and air
My fingers are wise��
They snatch light out of darkness��
They thrill to harmonies breathed in silence。
I walked in the stillness of the night��
And my soul uttered her gladness。
O Night�察�still�察�odorous Night�察�I love thee��
O wide�察�spacious Night�察�I love thee��
O steadfast�察�glorious Night��
I touch thee with my hands��
I lean against thy strength��
I am forted。
O fathomless�察�soothing Night��
Thou art a balm to my restless spirit��
I nestle gratefully in thy bosom��
Dark�察�gracious mother��
Like a dove�察�I rest in thy bosom。
_Out of the uncharted�察�unthinkable dark we came��
And in a little time we shall return again
Into the vast�察�unanswering dark。_
