O Light Inviolable


O LIGHT inviolable, shine on the brink

Of the earth-memory that I may drink

From thy sky-cup the inexhaustible Wine

That brims along the Spirits sapphire line.


The burning ight of Mind has sailed around

The seerhood of horizonless thought and found

Within the circle of the brooding night

The timeless visage of the Innite.


My heart is now a canticle of prayer:

It dwells like a pure breath of crystal air

Upon a bare peak of tranquillity

Amid the foam of a mysterious sea.


I illumine Nature with my loneliness:

Poised on eternal calm my deathless days

Travel with eagle-wings from deep to deep,

Tearing the veil of the Inconscients sleep.
