Veiled Mystery

LIFE is a veil that covers a spirit-sky;

An in
nite range of stars is held concealed,

And all that reaches from these
rmly sealed

Heavens are but dim ickers of things high.

An inexhaustible source is there of Peace,

A Light unborn, undreamt of by this world:

Like songs in a silent bosom scarlet-pearled

It sleeps, bathed in the spray of seven seas.

The hour has come and, pierced through burning sands

Of desert-
re, the murmuring voice is heard

Of a gold stream. What mighty crystal hands

Release the music-ood of the Sun-bird?

The veil withdraws, and yet few only see

The
gure of winged Light, wrapped Mystery!
