A Vision in Night


I have seen a golden chalice-bloom

In the silent communion of night

Heard the Master speak in the inner room

Away from mortal sight.


The crystal's meaning made clear to me

By a mathematician of time

And the secret of the wonder-tree

Laden with blossoms sublime.


The still wind whispers songs to come

And the silent heart complies

A single tone as a droning hum

Signals my soul to rise.
