our birth is but a sleep - george dyson lyrics
our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
the soul that rises with us, our life’s star
hath had elsewhere its setting
and cometh from afar;
not in entire forgetfulness
and not in utter nakedness
but trailing clouds of glory do we come
from god, who is our home:
o joy! that in our embers
is something that doth live;
that nature yet remembers
what was so fugitive!
those shadowy recollections
which, be they what they may
are yet the fountain*light of all our days
are yet the mastеr*light of all our seeing;
uphold us, cherish, and have power to makе
our noisy years seem moments in the being
of the eternal silence: truths that wake
to perish never;
which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavour
nor all that is at enmity with joy
can utterly abolish or destroy!
hence, in a season of calm weather
though inland far we be
our souls have sight of that immortal sea
which brought us hither;
can in a moment travel thither **
and hear the mighty waters rolling evermore
