The sun-shaft bathes the greenins
mead.
And az We stand upon the HILL
We see the racing. golden steed
Bear down upon US In the shade.
All, now IT comes with buoyant grace.
And turning all the gloom to glow.
1t speeds away upon Its race!
How like the sun shaft are our JOYS
That break through riffs of clouded
day!
How like the thrill Of Joy that comes
And for an instant lights the way.
And then, as fleeting as the fawn.
Flies onward DER the distant hill!
And how we stand. eXpectantly.
And bide its coming when 1t Will.
All. happy he who finds the track
Where sun-shafts hold their wonted
sway,
Who feels their sunbursts on his brow
In clouded gloom of darksome day:
All barred. stand upon the hill
And bid the breezcs fan my face.
And hope-aye. pray-the sun-shaft JOY
May battle me in its speeding RAGS!
