Red Rock Canyon Open Space, Colorado Springs

E. Housman (1859–1936).  A Shropshire Lad.  1896
XXXII. From far, from eve and morning

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
  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;
Ere to the wind’s twelve quarters
  I take my endless way.
