VAIN SIMILITUDES


WIDE ocean, quivering of wings,

The first star-glow in a quiet sky

Bequeathed by sun to planetary kings

And way wodes of an untold galaxy,—

Orts and similitude's of Love

Whose calm is wider than all sea:

To trace that joy would wings throb fast enough ?

Could star-tossed thought attain His mystery ?
