Sky Transcendent

THY sky is a blue
re,

Aglow in the night;

What eternities are piled

On its starry height!

Earths clamour fails to reach

Its tranquil shore;

Only the billows of time

Circle ever more.

And world on world is cast

From its sleepless whirl

And a lustre within its heart

Glows like a pearl

In a still secrecy

Breathed by sun and moon

From the bright solitude

Of the Timeless swoon.

The sky is a gold
re

Of starry dust

From heavens immensities

Wrought, lone and hushed.
