DARKNESS and doubt and despair Vanish at touch of the May! Song? It inhabits the air; Love? It bewitches the way. Ah, if we trust, comes the song, (Hark!) and the breath of it sweet; Surer, for waiting so long, Fairer, for being so fleet. If we have faith! And we must: Faith that shall wholly redeem, Faith that shall hallow the dust, Faith, the fulfilment of Dream. Darkness and doubt and despair Vanish at touch of the May! Song? It inhabits the air; Love? It bewitches the way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
