Ezra Pound

Grace Before Song

Lord God of heaven that with mercy dight
             Th’alternate prayer wheel of the night and light
             Eternal hath to thee, and in whose sight
             Our days as rain drops in the sea surge fall,
 
             As bright white drops upon a leaden sea
             Grant so my songs to this grey folk may be:
 
             As drops that dream and gleam and falling catch the sun
             Evan’scent mirrors every opal one
             Of such his splendor as their compass is,
             So, bold My Songs, seek ye such death as this.
