Out of the deep and the dark,


A sparkling mystery, a shape,
A sparkling mystery, a shape,
Something perfect,
Something perfect,
Comes like the stir of the day:
Comes like the stir of the day:
One whose breath is an odour,
One whose breath is an odour,
Whose eyes show the road to stars, —Yone Noguchi
Whose eyes show the road to stars,
—Yone Noguchi
