Dies Dominica! the sunshine burns
strong incense on the breathing fields of morn:
lucid, intense, all colour towards it yearns
that souls of flowers on the air are born.
What claustral joy to-day is on the air
-expanding now and one with the celebrant sun--
and fills with pointed flame all things aware,
all flowers and souls that sing-and I am one!
Dies Dominica! the passion yearns,
and the world and the singer is but one flower
from out whose luminous chalice odour burns
intenser toward the blue thro- this keen hour:
-this hour is my eternity! the soul
rises, expanding ever, with the sight,
thro- flowers and colours, and the visible whole
of beauty mingled in one dream of light.
