Idyll

Idyll

Siegfried Sassoon
In the grey summer garden I shall find you

With day-break and the morning hills behind you.  

There will be rain-wet roses; stir of wings;  

And down the wood a thrush that wakes and sings.  

Not from the past you’ll come, but from that deep

Where beauty murmurs to the soul asleep:  

And I shall know the sense of life re-born  

From dreams into the mystery of morn  

Where gloom and brightness meet. And standing there  

Till that calm song is done, at last we’ll share

The league-spread, quiring symphonies that are  

Joy in the world, and peace, and dawn’s one star.
