FROM FAR, FROM EVE AND MORNING

By

A.E. Housman (1859-1936)

From far, from eve and morning

And yon twelve winded sky,

The stuff of life to knit me

Blew hither: here am I

Now - for a breath I tarry

Nor yet disperse apart-

Take my hand quick and tell me,

What have you in your heart.

Speak now and I will answer;

How shall I help you, say;

Ere to the wind's twelve quarters

I take my endless way.
