So within, So without. Carpe Lucem

rated and added with cheerful thoughts











WE air tired who follow after


Phantasy and truth that flies:


You with only look and laughter


Stain our hearts with richest dyes.





When you break upon our study


Vanish all our frosty cares;


As the diamond deep grows ruddy,


Filled with morning unawares.





With the stuff that dreams are made of


But an empty house we build:


Glooms we are ourselves afraid of,


By the ancient starlight chilled.





All unwise in thought or duty—


Still our wisdom envies you:


We who lack the living beauty


Half our secret knowledge rue.





Thought nor fear in you nor dreaming


Veil the light with mist about;


Joy, as through a crystal gleaming,


Flashes from the gay heart out.





Pain and penitence forsaking,


Hearts like cloisters dim and grey,


By your laughter lured, awaking


Join with you the dance of day.


Natural Magic


George William Russell
