Moon-Flood

LET thy silver silence pour

Wonder-rays of the moon

On my lonely sand-grey shore,

Suddenly jewel-strewn.

Many foam-washed shells there bring

Traces of the high

Lustrous sea where, ring on ring,

Breaks a mystery.

All my prayer and bleeding quest

For thy sky-winged Flame

Led me to the dark-veiled West,

Where thy secret Name

Like a dream-orbed twilight shone

In the shadowy deep;

Pathways of the amethyst dawn

Linked in ivory sleep

With the snow-white vigilance

Of an endless light:

Timeless rapture of thy trance

Oceaned In
nite.
