Before the beginning of years
There came to the making of man
Time, with a gift of tears;
Grief, with a glass that ran;
Pleasure, with pain for leaven;
Summer, with flowers that fell;
Remembrance, fallen from heaven,
And madness risen from hell;
Strength without hands to smite;
Love that endures for a breath;
Night, the shadow of light,
And Life, the shadow of death.

All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings
And childrens faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.
