184 POEMS AND SONGS

THEY HAVE FOUND EACH OTHER

(FROM THE DRAMA THE KING, THIRD INTERLUDE)

More they wander,

Meeting yonder,
In the wondrous Spring new-born,
That though old as Time’s first morn,
Brings fresh youth to all the living,
Now held fast, now far retreating,
But through hearts in oneness beating
Ever fullest bloom is giving.

Mute they wander. E’en the eye
Speaks no thought. For from on high
To their souls sweet strains have spoken
From the wide world’s harmony,

Born of light, the darkness broken,
In the dawn of things to be.
Power crowned —
Earth around
Like a sun-song rolled the sound.

Mute they wander. Sweet strains ending —
Eye nor tongue dares yet the lending
Speech to thought.

But lo! quick blending,
All things speak! They sound and shimmer,
Bloom in fragrance, ring and glimmer,
Tint and tone combining, nearer,
Meet as one with all their thinking
