A poet of one mood in all my lays,

Ranging all life to sing one only love,

Like a west wind across the world I move,

Sweeping my harp of floods mine own wild ways.

The countries change, but not the west-wind days

Which are my songs. My soft skies shine above,

And on all seas the colours of a dove,

And on all fields a flash of silver greys.

I make the whole world answer to my art / And sweet monotonous meanings. In your ears / I change not ever, bearing, for my part, / One thought that is the treasure of my years / A small cloud full of rain upon my heart / And in mine arms, clasped, like a child in tears.
