Up the singing stair I bound as heart Pounds a rhythm of joy, unbounded, full Of its own spread glory as kissed lips that part To set royal notes to soul's burning all. 5 Here there is wine; wine, poetry and love To last all evening long, and light the morn In flame everliving as my spirit moves Above the limning eye of dawn. I've borne Untold sorrows as wind bears up the clouds 10 That fly into the atmosphere's soft Height, where still my soul beats loud! O inner certainty, sure as that sky aloft I'd give again each heartache, live every painful hour That I may know one moment of beauty's fearsome power.
