XXXII. From far, from eve and morning. Housman, A. E. 1896. A Shropshire Lad

FROM far, from eve and morning
  And yon twelve-winded sky,
The stuff of life to knit me
  Blew hither: here am I.
 
Now—for a breath I tarry        5
  Nor yet disperse apart—
Take my hand quick and tell me,
  What have you in your heart.
 
Speak now, and I will answer;
  How shall I help you, say;        10
Ere to the wind's twelve quarters
  I take my endless way.

---Steve
