IN A CATHEDRAL
Fromher sweet unrest and stingHither I come.The cloisters like a frozen forest ring,Echoing back more faint and faintlierThe tread of living. Home,Home flies the spirit. Faint and faintlierThe surging waves of passion break to foamThen like a clash of cymbals suddenlyShe, slave of Time,O’ercomes all tokens of Eternity,Nay, rather with Eternity is made one,One with recurrent rhymeOf arch, with flash of window, with the sunYellow on lofty walls sweet echoes climb.

Fromher sweet unrest and sting
Hither I come.
The cloisters like a frozen forest ring,
Echoing back more faint and faintlier
The tread of living. Home,
Home flies the spirit. Faint and faintlier
The surging waves of passion break to foam
Then like a clash of cymbals suddenlyShe, slave of Time,O’ercomes all tokens of Eternity,Nay, rather with Eternity is made one,One with recurrent rhymeOf arch, with flash of window, with the sunYellow on lofty walls sweet echoes climb.
Then like a clash of cymbals suddenly
She, slave of Time,
O’ercomes all tokens of Eternity,
Nay, rather with Eternity is made one,
One with recurrent rhyme
Of arch, with flash of window, with the sun
Yellow on lofty walls sweet echoes climb.
