by Humbert Wolfe (1885 - 1940)
Now in these fairylands
Language: English
Now in these fairylands gather your weary hands close to your breast, and be at rest. Now in these silences lean to the cadences, mouldering their grace to the line of your face. Now at the end of all, loveliest friend of all, all things are yours in this peace that endures.
