He…


Deep runs a silent music

Through my laborious days:

I set your name, Beloved,

To a hundred thousand lays.


The clang of a distant organ

At the corner leaps and falls.

I go my way rejoicing,

In the love that it recalls.


Through the din of many journeys

A song within me peals,

To a running bass of the rattle,

The endless roar of wheels.
