Sometimes she is a child within mine arms,  
Sometimes she is a child within mine arms,
Cowering beneath dark wings that love must chase,—  
Cowering beneath dark wings that love must chase,—
With still tears showering and averted face,  
With still tears showering and averted face,
Inexplicably fill'd with faint alarms:  
Inexplicably fill'd with faint alarms:
And oft from mine own spirit's hurtling harms  
And oft from mine own spirit's hurtling harms
I crave the refuge of her deep embrace,—  
I crave the refuge of her deep embrace,—
Against all ills the fortified strong place  
Against all ills the fortified strong place
And sweet reserve of sovereign counter-charms.  
And sweet reserve of sovereign counter-charms.


And Love, our light at night and shade at noon,  
And Love, our light at night and shade at noon,
Lulls us to rest with songs, and turns away  
Lulls us to rest with songs, and turns away
All shafts of shelterless tumultuous day.  
All shafts of shelterless tumultuous day.
Like the moon's growth, his face gleams through his tune;  
Like the moon's growth, his face gleams through his tune;
And as soft waters warble to the moon,  
And as soft waters warble to the moon,
Our answering spirits chime one roundelay.}}
Our answering spirits chime one roundelay.}}

Sometimes she is a child within mine arms,
Cowering beneath dark wings that love must chase,—
With still tears showering and averted face,
Inexplicably fill'd with faint alarms:
And oft from mine own spirit's hurtling harms
I crave the refuge of her deep embrace,—
Against all ills the fortified strong place
And sweet reserve of sovereign counter-charms.

And Love, our light at night and shade at noon,
Lulls us to rest with songs, and turns away
All shafts of shelterless tumultuous day.
Like the moon's growth, his face gleams through his tune;
And as soft waters warble to the moon,
Our answering spirits chime one roundelay.
