SACRIFICE
BRAZIERS of aromatic fire,
Balsams and odorous leaves
And myrrh and costly gums
Breathe forth blue wisps of gyre,
Proffer what Height receives,
Await what answer comes ;
Until the silence-hearted prayer
Of blueness offers up
Commingling and release :
Quivering expectant air
Within the sky-rimmed cup
Borders the Vast, the Peace.
October 13, 1936.
