Bliss Carman · Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics

Poem 65 of 100 · Book I

Softly the wind moves through the radiant morning,

— ✻ —

Softly the wind moves through the radiant morning,
And the warm sunlight sinks into the valley,
Filling the green earth with a quiet joyance,
Strength, and fulfilment.

Even so, gentle, strong and wise and happy,
Through the soul and substance of my being,
Comes the breath of thy great love to me-ward,
O thou dear mortal.
