Robinson Jeffers - The First Gra** lyrics

It rained three autumn days, then close to frost Under clear starlight the night shivering was. The dawn rose cold and colorless as gla**, And when we wakened rains and clouds were lost. The ocean surged and shouted stormy-tossed. I went down to companion him. Alas, What faint voice by the way? The sudden gra** Cried with thin lips as I the valley crossed, Saying blade by blade, "Although the warm sweet rain Awakened us, this world is all too cold. We never dreamed it thus."--"Your champion bold Is risen," I said; "he in an hour or twain Will comfort you." I pa**ed. Above the dune Stood the wan splendorless daylight-waning moon.
