To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I fear thee, mother of the sacred mad, For thou with beauty dost awake in me Such yearning as but God laid hold upon.
Or mania laying hold, can satisfy.
Pour down, O moon, upon the listening earth — The earth unthinking, thy still eloquence!
Shine in the children's eyes. They drink thy light.
And laugh in innocence of sorcery.
And love thy silver. I laugh not, nor gaze With half-closed eyes upon the awakened night.
Nay, oft when thou art hailed above the hill, I lean not forth, I hide myself in... tasks, Even to the blunt comfort of routine I cling, to drowse my soul against thy charm, Yearning for thee, ethereal miracle!
45 EARTH'S NIGHT SOMBRE, Sombre is the night, the stars' light is dimmed With smoky exhalations of the earth.
Whose ancient voice is lifted on the wind In ceaseless elegies and songs of tears.
O earth, I hear thee mourning for thy dead!
Thou art waving the long grass over thy graves!
Murmuring over all thy resting children.
That have run and wandered and gone down Upon thy bosom — Thou wilt mourn for him Who looketh now a moment on these stars, And in the moving boughs of this dark night Heareth the murmurous sorrow of thy heart.
