Page:The ascent of man by Blind, Mathilde.djvu/68

 When the velvet-footed shadows
 * Call the hind to evening prayer.

Yea, all notes of woods and highlands; Sea-fowls' screech round sphinx-like islands
 * Couched among the Hebrides;

Cuckoo calls through April showers, When the green fields froth with flowers
 * And with bloom the orchard trees.

Boom of surges with their hollow
 * Refluent shock from cave to cave,

As the maddening spring tides follow
 * Moonstruck reeling wave o'er wave.

Yea, all rhythms of air and ocean Married to the heart's emotion, To the intervolved emotion Of the heart for ever turning
 * In a whirl of bliss and pain,
 * Blending in symphonious strain

All the vague, unearthly yearning
 * Of the visionary brain.
