Excerpt from Poems of Love and Earth
To My Wife
My words are here of immemorial things,
The labouring earth, the swift unwearied wings
Of Love that ever circle earth about,
Pity for stricken men and pride that they
Yet look with eyes heroic on the day,
Creators in the void and lords of doubt,
Of women who, albeit nursing yet
Remembrance of the things we would forget,
Spoiled of so much, so little paid in fee,
Keep bright in wonder and in worship still
The hearts of men so troubled to fulfil,
Not wholly shamed, the end that is to be.
Of secret exultations of the year,
Fierce inarticulate passions that are near
In ecstasy to God's imagining,
Of men who wake each day as to a proud
Adventure, and go down to sleep unbowed,
To dream alone of what the dawn may bring.
