THE LAST SYLLABLE
HUSHED hearkening for the footfalls of the Sun
Before the dawn-note nears ;
Peering down ways Eternity may run
On infant feet of years ;
Surmise of gladness beyond the further hills,
Of proud-swung peals unheard :
Earth saved by the last syllable that fills
The time-span of the Word.
October 4, 1936.
