'The Singer Saith of His Song' by Francis Thompson

​The touches of man's modern speech
Perplex her unacquainted tongue;
There seems through all her songs a sound
Of falling tears. She is not young.

Within her eyes' profound arcane
Resides the glory of her dreams;
Behind her secret cloud of hair,
She sees the Is beyond the Seems.

Her heart sole-towered in her steep spirit,
Somewhat sweet is she, somewhat wan;
And she sings the songs of Sion
By the streams of Babylon.

William Keith (1838–1911) was a Scottish-American painter.

Francis Thompson (1859
–1907) was an English and Catholic poet.
