The RecallAlgernon Charles Swinburne

The Recall

Return, they cry, ere yet your day

Set, and the sky grow stern:

Return, strayed souls, while yet ye may

Return.

 

But heavens beyond us yearn;

Yea, heights of heaven above the sway

Of stars that eyes discern.

 

The soul whose wings from shoreward stray

Makes toward her viewless bourne

Though trustless faith and unfaith say,

Return.
