The Way Of The Wind

The wind's way in the deep sky's hollow

None may measure, as none can say

How the heart in her shows the swallow

  The wind's way.

Hope nor fear can avail to stay

Waves that whiten on wrecks that wallow,

Times and seasons that wane and slay.

Life and love, till the strong night swallow

Thought and hope and the red last ray,

Swim the waters of years that follow

  The wind's way.
