Lord God of heaven that with mercy dight <br />Th'alternate prayer wheel of the night and light <br />Eternal hath to thee, and in whose sight <br />Our days as rain drops in the sea surge fall, <br /> <br />As bright white drops upon a leaden sea <br />Grant so my songs to this grey folk may be: <br /> <br />As drops that dream and gleam and falling catch the sun <br />Evan'scent mirrors every opal one <br />Of such his splendor as their compass is, <br />So, bold My Songs, seek ye such death as this.<br /><br />Ezra Pound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grace-before-song/
