Wallace Stevens - The Sun This March lyrics
[Wallace Stevens - The Sun This March lyrics]
The exceeding brightness of this early sun
Makes me conceive how dark I have become
And re-illumines things that used to turn
To gold in broadest blue, and be a part
Of a turning spirit in an earlier self
That, too, returns from out the winter’s air
Like an hallucination come to daze
The corner of the eye our element
Cold is our element and winter’s air
Brings voices as of lions coming down
Oh! Rabbi, rabbi, fend my soul for me
And true savant of this dark nature be
Makes me conceive how dark I have become
And re-illumines things that used to turn
To gold in broadest blue, and be a part
Of a turning spirit in an earlier self
That, too, returns from out the winter’s air
Like an hallucination come to daze
The corner of the eye our element
Cold is our element and winter’s air
Brings voices as of lions coming down
Oh! Rabbi, rabbi, fend my soul for me
And true savant of this dark nature be
