A Fierce Unrest

Author: Don Marquis, 1878-1937 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Humanist Teachings Humanity: Women and Men First Line: A fierce unrest seethes at the core Lyrics: 1 A fierce unrest seethes at the core of all existing things: it was the eager wish to soar that gave the gods their wings. There throbs through all the worlds that are this heartbeat hot and strong, and shaken systems, star by star, awake and glow in song. 2 But for the urge of this unrest these joyous spheres are mute; but for the rebel in our breast had we remained as brutes. When baffled lips demanded speech, speech trembled into birth; one day the lyric word shall reach from earth to laughing earth. 3 From deed to dream, from dream to deed, from daring hope to hope, the restless wish, the instant need, still drove us up the slope. Sing we no governed firmament, cold, ordered, regular; we sing the stinging discontent that leaps from star to star. Used With Tune: SALVATION
