SACENT 2012/ENGLISH
(a) The fountains mingle with the ocean, (15)
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another mingle –
Why not I with thine?
(b)‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –
And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –
I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest sea –
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of Me

From the walls of the powerful fortress’d house,
