<l>THIS is your dream of yesterday,</l>
<l>The equilibrium of the storm.</l>
<l>No, there was nothing cast away:</l>
<l>The fiery cloud has taken form.</l>
<l>You do not know yourself in this,</l>
<l>But did you know your being true,</l>
<l>And what was smoke from the abyss,</l>
<l>And what celestial fire in you?</l>
<l>Whatever things you loved were won,</l>

<l>The music of her chemistry.</l>
<l>If to be vanquished is your part</l>
<l>And all the fortunate stars withdraw,</l>
<l>Through the red chaos of the heart</l>
<l>Still breathes the music of the Law.</l>

Alex Telesca Transcribed and encoded a poem Ireland 1924 THIS is your dream of yesterday, The equilibrium of the storm. No, there was nothing cast away: The fiery cloud has taken form. You do not know yourself in this, 5 But did you know your being true, And what was smoke from the abyss, And what celestial fire in you? Whatever things you loved were won, What was not loved is still denied. 10 That Law whose writs forever run Will make no sacrifice to pride. The powers that cause the earth to quake Seem to run riderless and free Through nature, yet they never break 15 The music of her chemistry. If to be vanquished is your part And all the fortunate stars withdraw, Through the red chaos of the heart Still breathes the music of the Law. 20 It gives to you what is your own. If still you be of slavish mind You ne'er shall sit upon a throne And sway a sceptre unconfined. And if you be the slave of hate 25 Within yourself you fall and fall Until the heart be desolate, And love is dead beyond recall. A nation is whate'er it loves. If love be dead it too must die. 30 Go, give an offering of doves To win its immortality. A.E.
