| I LIVED in the shadow, | |
The vesper-moth mine | |
That hates the green meadow | |
And yellow sunshine | |
The merry sunshine. | 5 |
|
Like one of the host | |
That fell out of heaven, | |
I doubted, I lost, | |
My angels out-driven | |
My archangels seven. | 10 |
|
O sorrow, my raiment, | |
And trouble, my care; | |
You are paid with a payment: | |
The Day-dawn is there | |
Gods-gold in his hair. | 15 |
|
Now come out of prison, | |
And step out of night; | |
And greet him, new risen, | |
My Day of delight, | |
My lovely delight. | 20 | | |
