From wordless wide spaces,
The ultimate lawn,
Come forth! I invoke thee, O wind, come forth to me
fleet as a fawn.
THE WINDS
From fourfold quarters,
The depth and the height,
We come, the bright daughters
Of day shed on night;
The sun and the waters
Have brought us to light ;
The sound of him slaughters
Our soul in his sight.
We hear the loud murmur; we know
him; we rest;
We breathe in his breast.
ORPHEUS
By sunlight up-gathered
As dust of his cars,
By moonlight unfathered,
Unmothered of stars,
Unpastured, untethered,
Unstricken of scars,
Come forth! I invoke ye, O clouds! ye veils! ye divine
avatars!
