First Line: From far, from eve and morning
Last Line: I take my endless way.
Alternate Author Name(s): Housman, A. E.
Variant Title(s): In Haste
Subject(s): Friendship; Mourning; Bereavement
From far, from eve and morning
And yon twelve-winded sky.,
The stuff of life to knit me
Blew hither: here am I.
Now - for a breath I tarry
Nor yet disperse apart-
Take my hand quick and tell me,
What have you in your heart.
Speak now, and I will answer;
How shall I help you, say;
Ere to the wind's twelve quarters
I take my endless way.
