 

The Heart Is
a Wingéd Messenger

The heart is a wingéd messenger

At night, as I lay dreaming
It flies far, to some forgotten spring,
        drinks deep
        and sitting in that glen
       dreams with me 

Dawn’s light, once more returning,
It leans to whisper in my ear: 

       Joy, joy, joy in the morning!
              Joy in the breaking of the day
                     Joy in the tasks that lie before thee
                           
Joy in the company of friends

       Joy walk before thee and behind thee

       Joy be thy rest along the way.
