With thee, man-heart, where dawns on glaciers play
we went; by thy child-heart with joy were fed;
and by thy poet-heart to prayer were led.
Still following, we cross they fields today.
Beside the stream, beneath the yew and bay;
Lower thy body to its chosen bed.
Quail call - tree shadows crep toward they dear head
As in green boughs we wrap thee for alway.
Now holy memories still our questioning --
thous know'st not their despair whose reason would
Leap with the spirit the bland brink of time;
Here thus to seal eternal brotherhood
With sun and lily, where the foam-bells ring,
For thee is immortality sublime.
