| |
| A POET of one mood in all my lays, | |
| Ranging all life to sing one only love, | |
| Like a west wind across the world I move, | |
| Sweeping my harp of floods mine own wild ways. | |
| The countries change, but not the west-wind days | 5 |
| Which are my songs. My soft skies shine above, | |
| And on all seas the colors of a dove, | |
| And on all fields a flash of silver grays. | |
| I make the whole world answer to my art | |
| And sweet monotonous meanings. In your ears | 10 |
| I change not ever, bearing, for my part, | |
| One thought that is the treasure of my years, | |
| A small cloud full of rain upon my heart | |
| And in mine arms, clasped, like a child in tears. | |
