I Heard The Chime From Faraway Poem by Henry Tong

I Heard The Chime From Faraway

Rating: 5.0


I Heard the Chime from Faraway-
an Echo in the Wind-
The Ancient Summons to Display-
its faint sublimity.

Before the brightest years decay-
A Blessing's left to speak-
The World is ready to enjoy-
A Fiesta in the Bleak.

Whence the skies are bound to weave-
the Wave of Infinity?
So few would dare to apprehand-
A Carol-Rhapsody.

Wherefore my solitude repents-
A Thousand bells aring?
My Thoughts and prayers with the toast-
Softly take the wings.

For I am armored to withstand-
The Moans of Dreary Wind-
The Light and Heat Emblaze my Pen-
Dimming Perplexed Dreams.
