Songs of ExperienceIntroduction
H
Who present, past, and future, sees;
Whose ears have heard
The Holy Word
That walk’d among the ancient trees,
And weeping in the evening dew;
That might control
The starry pole,
And fallen, fallen light renew!
Arise from out the dewy grass;
Night is worn,
And the morn
Rises from the slumberous mass.
Why wilt thou turn away.
The starry floor,
The wat’ry shore,
Is giv’n thee till the break of day.’
