INVOCATION
 


So now that all is over,
   Let the great stars emerge,
Placid and calm, and cover
   The sky from verge to verge!
The deep and flowing magic
   Of the universe is such,
Comic be it, or tragic.
   It does not matter much!


INVOCATION

WHO will waken the wind for me?
Who will waken the wind?
The night is loaded with misery;
And like one stricken with leprosy
   The moon has sunk in the sea.
The earth is heavy as if it had sinned;
Like a ghost stands every tree.
   Who will waken the wind for me?
   Who will waken the wind?
