Deep day so chasming blue, translucing green,
dazzle me do and ruffle through my hair.
A darkness hand in darkness dances where
these shadows stir up what it is I mean.

I welcome back the language of the breeze,
for stillness starved an inward life of change:
day by day the familiar estranged,
until a prison house where nothing pleased.

As sun-gift to the inner light of leaves,
the dance the gusting breezes lead they show:-
Lights! Action! Humour! We begin to glow;
our shadows blacken, separate and weave

behind the illustrious, stepping deep;
for they have their creation while we sleep.
