Swan
??
O thou whitish heaven's deity
Rowing on the waterways
Hellen of the birds in heaven
Heaven of the world of fays
In the foggy eves of winter
In the moonlit lake you row?
Larks and cuckoos, moon and weathers
Gaze at Thee in awe and go
Pearl of Love, thou Silent thinker
Midst of oceans midst of river
Gazing at the Reed as hermit?
Then on thine own thoughts thou shiver
Often see I rowing, boating!
In the eves of scented summer
Holy mornings, foggy winter
Thou in silent worship hour
On the sands of ocean shimmer
O thou angel, O thou mystic!
Thinkst thou of earth or heaven?
Thinkst thou of Love that Vanished?
Thinkst thou in seventh heaven?
Thinkst thou that life is sorrow?
Sorrow with the beats that mingles?
Thinkst thou of mirthful hour?
Not on face of earth that lingers!
Write on waves of ocean angel
With the quills in heart of water
Ways of earth are ways of sorrow
Ways of God are ways to laughter
