A Song of Desire
Thou dreamer with the million moods,
—Of restless heart like me,
Lay thy white hands against my breast
—And cool its pain, O Sea!
O wanderer of the unseen paths,
—Restless of heart as I,
Blow hither, from thy caves of blue,
—Wind of the healing sky!
O treader of the fiery way,
—With passionate heart like mine,
Hold to my lips thy healthful cup
—Brimmed with its blood-red wine!
O countless watchers of the night,
—Of sleepless heart like me,
Pour your white beauty in my soul,
—Till I grow calm as ye!
O sea, O sun, O wind and stars,
—(O hungry heart that longs!)
Feed my starved lips with life, with love,
—And touch my tongue with songs!
—Of restless heart like me,
Lay thy white hands against my breast
—And cool its pain, O Sea!
O wanderer of the unseen paths,
—Restless of heart as I,
Blow hither, from thy caves of blue,
—Wind of the healing sky!
O treader of the fiery way,
—With passionate heart like mine,
Hold to my lips thy healthful cup
—Brimmed with its blood-red wine!
O countless watchers of the night,
—Of sleepless heart like me,
Pour your white beauty in my soul,
—Till I grow calm as ye!
O sea, O sun, O wind and stars,
—(O hungry heart that longs!)
Feed my starved lips with life, with love,
—And touch my tongue with songs!
