On a March Day
Herein the teeth of this triumphant windThat shakes the naked shadows on the ground,Making a key-board of the earth to strikeFrom clattering tree and hedge a separate sound,Bear witness for me that I loved my life,All things that hurt me and all things that healed,And that I swore to it this day in March,Here at the edge of this new-broken field.You only knew me, tell them I was gladFor every hour since my hour of birth,And that I ceased to fear, as once I feared,The last complete reunion with the earth.

Herein the teeth of this triumphant wind
That shakes the naked shadows on the ground,
Making a key-board of the earth to strike
From clattering tree and hedge a separate sound,
Bear witness for me that I loved my life,All things that hurt me and all things that healed,And that I swore to it this day in March,Here at the edge of this new-broken field.
Bear witness for me that I loved my life,
All things that hurt me and all things that healed,
And that I swore to it this day in March,
Here at the edge of this new-broken field.
You only knew me, tell them I was gladFor every hour since my hour of birth,And that I ceased to fear, as once I feared,The last complete reunion with the earth.
You only knew me, tell them I was glad
For every hour since my hour of birth,
And that I ceased to fear, as once I feared,
The last complete reunion with the earth.
