Siegfried Sassoon - InvocationSiegfried Sassoon - Invocation
Work rating: Low


Come down from heaven to meet me when my breath   Chokes, and through drumming shafts of stifling death   I stumble toward escape, to find the door   Opening on morn where I may breathe once more   Clear cock-crow airs across some valley dim With whispering trees. While dawn along the rim   Of night’s horizon flows in lakes of fire,   Come down from heaven’s bright hill, my song’s desire.     Belov’d and faithful, teach my soul to wake   In glades deep-ranked with flowers that gleam and shake And flock your paths with wonder. In your gaze   Show me the vanquished vigil of my days.   Mute in that golden silence hung with green,   Come down from heaven and bring me in your eyes   Remembrance of all beauty that has been, And stillness from the pools of Paradise.
