Dedication
I told you all my life with its thousand fevers,
I told you more than ever I knew myself:
For you have opened the fount of the holy rivers
Which lead me to the Self.
Your sun has fired the evening of mine Autumn,
Your lucent rainbow spans o'er the cloudy throngs,
My spirit wakes, and I smile at the woes that brought them
And all their withered wrongs.
Now soft my landscape blooms 'neath the evening amber,
And colours wed in harmony of delights,
While jewels drop from the blossoms and buds that clamber
Towards the tree-top heights.
Becalmed, I wait till over the distant highlands
The eye of day shall close, and the bulbul's note
Shall trill with music that bears to the blissful Islands
My life in your golden boat!
Cyril Scott
