The Broken Wing/Welcome

​Welcome

Welcome, O fiery Pain! My heart unseared, unstricken, Drinks deep thy fervid rain, My spirit-seeds to quicken.
Welcome, O tranquil Death! Thou hast no ills to grieve me, Who cam'st with Freedom's breath From sorrow to retrieve me.
Open, O vast unknown, Thy sealed mysterious portals! I go to seek mine own, Vision of Love immortal.
