Out of the dark, your eyes, Beckoning far and fair, Under whose laughter gleams A witchery of dreams -- A fantasy of prayer -- Making new hopes arise Out of the dark ... your eyes! Out of the storm, your voice, Bidding the sea be still, Warm with the kindly mirth And honesty of earth, Rousing my strength to will, And struggle, and rejoice Out of the storm ... your voice! Out of the world, your heart, Waiting to call me home -- A beautiful calm place Wherein to hide my face Awhile from flame and foam, Feeling all pain depart Out of the world ... your heart! |
