<details text="i carry your heart/i am a little church"><summary>i carry your heart/i am a little church</summary>
|
|
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
|
|
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
|
|
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
|
|
by only me is your doing,my darling)
|
|
i fear
|
|
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
|
|
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
|
|
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
|
|
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
|
|
|
|
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
|
|
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
|
|
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
|
|
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
|
|
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
|
|
|
|
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
|
|

|
|
|
i am a little church(no great cathedral)
|
|
far from the splendor and squalor of hurrying cities
|
|
-i do not worry if briefer days grow briefest,
|
|
i am not sorry when sun and rain make april
|
|
|
|
my life is the life of the reaper and the sower;
|
|
my prayers are prayers of earth's own clumsily striving
|
|
(finding and losing and laughing and crying)children
|
|
whose any sadness or joy is my grief or my gladness
|
|
|
|
around me surges a miracle of unceasing
|
|
birth and glory and death and resurrection:
|
|
over my sleeping self float flaming symbols
|
|
of hope,and i wake to a perfect patience of mountains
|
|
|
|
i am a little church(far from the frantic
|
|
world with its rapture and anguish)at peace with nature
|
|
-i do not worry if longer nights grow longest;
|
|
i am not sorry when silence becomes singing
|
|
|
|
winter by spring,i lift my diminutive spire to
|
|
merciful Him Whose only now is forever:
|
|
standing erect in the deathless truth of His presence
|
|
(welcoming humbly His light and proudly His darkness)
