Welcome, strong soul of Poesy, once more!
O where so long hast thou been wandering?
Thou comest to me like the gales of spring
That tell me winter’s blasts are blown and o’er.
Since thou took’st sail and left me on the shore,
Far vanishing as on a sea-bird’s wing,
I’ve heard but steely tempests round me ring,
Crushed down ‘neath ocean’s mighty overpour!
Where wert thou? They did scourge me till my cry
Outrang the tempest! yea, my soul was tried
Till angels saw and pitied me on high!
They flew like doves and brought thee with the tide.
And now that thou art come joy hovereth nigh,
Dimpling the deep with laughter far and wide!
(Obadiah Cyrus Auringer)
