Hylas chant for me Delicate prayers of the spring Trilling their praise at the water's green edge Seated in temples of cattail and sedge Murmuring mantras of spring Hylas chant for me Hylas sing for me Delicate songs of the spring Raising their voice in the moist tepid air Filling the marsh with a music so rare Melodious minstrels of spring Hylas sing for me Hylas speak for me Delicate poems of the spring Reciting their sonnets around the dark pool Keeping a cadence so seamless and smooth Eloquent bards of the spring Hylas speak for me While dreaming in an arbor 'mid the pines I felt a gentle hand caress my face And softly touch my brow as though to trace And memorize my features sleeping lines I had not fully wakened from my dream To find that gentle hand clapsed firm in mine And rising in a swift ascending line We climbed above the tops of wind tossed trees I looked to see what being held my hand But only glimpsed a shifting shimmering gleam As the sun illumes a pebble strewn stream Or breaks dappled where the quivering birches stand Below me now, the planet stood revealed A soft, effusive glow did light the land The Presence led me then to understand All earthly pain and sorrow had been healed I looked to see what being held my hand But only glimpsed a shifting, shimmering gleam As the sun illumes a pebble strewn stream Or breaks dappled where the quivering birches stand Awareness now returned to where I lay Beneath the silent canopy of pine The Being's gentle hand still warm in mine Left me certain that my vision Was for today I looked to see what being held my hand But only glimpsed a shifting shimmering gleam As the sun illumes a pebble strewn stream Or breaks dappled where the quivering birches stand
