Leaps up, from cloud to cloud, till all the gray

Burns crimson—then our feet may find a way

From East to West led by the feet of dawn.

Yet now how far apart stand North and South

And that one face and mine! Ah, not so far!

For at the call of one remembered word

I hear again that voice which first I heard

When day dawned in the smile about her mouth

And in her eyes I saw the morning Star.
