Poems (Taylor)/Outworn
OUTWORN
Between the winds and the steadfast stars
Are there no quiet ways
Where the soul may swoon for evermore
Through the dim pure nights and days?
Are there no quiet ways
Where the soul may swoon for evermore
Through the dim pure nights and days?
Where never a sound or a scent can float,
Where never a dream can win
Of the passion of tears and travail past,
Of the love, and the pain, and sin?
Where never a dream can win
Of the passion of tears and travail past,
Of the love, and the pain, and sin?
