The Secret Splendour

"Whence astray

Across the dark

 Vain waters of living death

 Have you, unbidden, come, O burning barque

With sails of ecstasy?"

"Blown by the luminous breath

Of a secret sun of eternity,

Dream-light they bear

To your blind despair

Till, perfect, rises the heart-hidden Day!"
