A PAEAN IN THE SPRINGTIDE
This is our trust and our joy—beyond death we look on
to the far light
Flaming from hell our last home, this is the key of
our might.
Come, fiery birds of a clime we know not, and sing us
your paean ;
Triumph of gods that are known secretly, not by a name,
Gods whose implacable feet have trampled the god
Galilean,
Cast though they be into hell, given to death and to
shame.
Heaven and hell has striven in war,
Sappho and Hylas, with Christ and Jah ;
We are of those, though they lose their power,
Never shall fade their fiery flower.
