I'M Afraid

I'm afraid O world of Verse! From hands of wilful callous death It may be so that I may cease Before I render thee my breath, Thou stand and look at me in awe With wonder in thy wild wild eyes I am more saddest than thou art In pain my painful soul heaves sighs O may that with the hand of chance! I could paint thee on the leaves! O thou verses of the Eden! In my heart thou breathe and heave O thou muffled face of Joy! O thou muffled face of love! O thou mystic laughing goddess! O thou silent peace , O dove! All of you in mist of winter Far in Ocean, in hill yonder Murmur, whisper, Mumble,shower, In the dewy hour of evening In the morning rosy bower Talk of candles, talk of summer In the gales of scent and wonder I'm in a dale of sorrow In the autumn leafy chamber Muffled in the fog of time Painted face of Thee on water O thou love, O bird of passage I look at thee and I wonder Thou are but a pain, a sorrow That in hearts of people linger Vanish thou , O peace and Joy With The Love of world thou all Words are Holy , Books are Holy Holy is The love of Lord Lingers it in hearts of ours When vanish, vanish they all
