IN A CATHEDRAL

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.
