And my father will sing the scythe-song

That joys for the harvest done.

[THE SHINING SPACES OF THE SOUTH]

The shining spaces of the south,

The circle of the year, the sea,

The blowing rose, the maiden’s mouth,

The love, the hate, the ecstasy,

The golden wood, the shadowed stream,

The dew, the light, the wind, the rain,

The man’s desire, the woman’s dream,
