The lure of freedom drew;
The light you fly toward, my bird,
I fly with thee unto.
(Freedom)

And fed with holy dew.

In the ages long agone
There were ruby hearts of fire-
Ah, the daughters of the dawn!

It left to-day and yesterday and thrice a thousand years behind.

What is the love of shadowy lips
That know not what they seek or press,
From whom the lure for ever slips
And fails their phantom tenderness?

To meet the old caress:
And all their love is mine again
As lip to lip we press.
George William Russell
