TRANSFORMATION

George William Russell

In other climes as the times shall fleet You yet may the hero be, And a loving heart may beat, my sweet, In a woman's breast for thee.

Your flight shall be in the height above, My wings droop low on the lea. For the eagle must grow a dove, my love, And the dove an eagle be.
