SEARCH
SEVEN lights set in the sky ;
Search, search them out;
Drink from a Golden Chalice
That puts an end to drought.
The infinite stairway spirals
From midnight's heavy dun
Shadows, beyond the dawn's rim
To noon-enthroned sun.
Speeding through clear bright aether
Go feet that cast no shade ;
Though the footsoles throng on the gleampath
No phantom of sound is made.
I would tread on the aether's truth way
With a footsole empty of weight,
And soundlessly fare through that star world
To the living Solar Gate.
November 7, 1938.
