The Broken Wing/Welcome

​Welcome

Welcome, O fiery Pain!
My heart unseared, unstricken,
Drinks deep thy fervid rain,
My spirit-seeds to quicken.

Welcome, O tranquil Death!
Thou hast no ills to grieve me,
Who cam'st with Freedom's breath
From sorrow to retrieve me.

Open, O vast unknown,
Thy sealed mysterious portals!
I go to seek mine own,
Vision of Love immortal.
