Mystic Word
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ dusky ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
Flows the ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ dream ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
The fires of life ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ and gleam;
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦ beyond beauty tempting ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ the heart-hold of the light:
Sounds ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ the mystic word of might:
¦¦¦¦¦ from ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ breaks the living stream.
¦¦¦¦¦¦ out beyond the ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ music-filled,
The kingly ¦¦¦¦ sits on the ancient throne,
Wielding the sceptre, ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ alone,
Knowing ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ all it dared and willed.
(Blackout of Magic by George William Russell)
