Florence Churchill Casebeer - VII. Willa Cather lyrics

Soul searching, thou hast journeyed far and wide On dusty pilgrimages, charting the day For those whose fading forms your power would stay And fix forever where great truths abide, Surely in seeking, you will never hide One portrait, lest at teh last, in Time's own way, Our measure be still less than what men say, And all we might bequeath in you will bide. For all the raising of the lifeless forms,-- That imminence of birth and d**h revealed; For every waking figure,--cold, now warm With confirmation and with wonder sealed, The soul acknowledges the breaking light, And walks with former tread out of the night.
