BE
“Be, this
moment”, Twilight bids me.
“Live for
breath and brume to spell.
Care and
labour e’er disqui’t thee;
yet, my Word
thy Soul must tell.”
“Quill and
page this hour let slumber;
o'er my
vastness contemplate.
Line and
verse a Dawn shall number,
weary
measures animate.”
“Thinkest
thou thy creed I know not?
Beauty dost
thou aim to serve;
Truth, her kin, hast thou in vain sought,
flamant balm
to lend thee nerve.”
“Her path
thou tracest, eye to Flame,
seest not that
She leadeth thee.
Her art or
plan thou mayst not claim,
sole bestowed
felicity.”
“Mournst thou for meaning forsaken
or for
inspiration failed?
Unto Time such
shall be taken,
by and by
to Life unveiled.”
“Dreams to skies
now blithe surrender;
visions gay
the rain shall bear
to mead and
mount, rainbow splendour
blossom,
leaf and field shall wear.”
“Wholeness
seek in still reflection,
silent soundness
shall find thee;
heed thine
inmost Light’s direction
soft, yet
stout of heart to Be.”
