Alexander Search – To One Playing

[BNP/E3, 77 – 83]

 

Meaning.

 

To One Playing

 

Play on with that music all lonely

Wandering through me like a breeze

Half‑lost in the calm of night,

A melody half‑heard only

Like the sound of stupendous seas

That in motion feel a delight.

 

|For in thy rhythm soft pealing,

For thou in that meterless rhyme

Awakest in me a spirit stress,

A widening, deadening of feeling

That is to my normal consciousness

As Eternity is to Time.

 

Alexander Search.

 

December, 1905.
