Figure Of Trance


A MOONBEAM path trails slowly away

Across the quiet sea

And kindled glows with diamond sparks

Of starry intensity.

Gold ames oating on a dim sky

Illume the grooves of night,

And falling on barred distances

Of sheer untrammelled height

Reect the majesty of a still

And lonely
gure of trance

A monument of giant strength

Stabbing the dark expanse.

Upon its poignant cutting edge

Smiles a deathless moon,

While glistening waters dream below

Lulled to a radiant swoon.

A path across its bosom winds

To an in
nite source of peace

An outblaze of immortal light

Over the slumbering seas!
