AMULETS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Out of the dark, your eyes
Last Line: Out of the world ... Your heart!
Alternate Author Name(s): Hooker, Brian


Out of the dark, your eyes,
Beckoning far and fair,
Under whose laughter gleams
A witchery of dreams --
A fantasy of prayer --
Making new hopes arise
Out of the dark ... your eyes!

Out of the storm, your voice,
Bidding the sea be still,
Warm with the kindly mirth
And honesty of earth,
Rousing my strength to will,
And struggle, and rejoice
Out of the storm ... your voice!

Out of the world, your heart,
Waiting to call me home --
A beautiful calm place
Wherein to hide my face
Awhile from flame and foam,
Feeling all pain depart
Out of the world ... your heart!
