  Genitori genitoque Laus et jubilatio. ONE—from the limits of the sky, whence rain And sun and dew come down, Moveth, a sheet of fire, and in His train, Where the flames ripple brown, Are spirits to be born Into the Earth, dim creatures slender, Girt in the train of Him whose brows are tender, Compulsive, sweet as in the strength of morn. One—from the deepness of the Earth, where graves Have fallen on gems in rock, Moveth, a sheet of fire, whose ruddy waves Have gathered up a flock Of people on all sides, Redeemed from Earth by that red flowing Behind a Form, as if from sunset glowing Above the wheat, when harvest-home betides. |
