Beyond the Veils

 

Beyond the beauteous veils of dew,

Open your eyes, adream, aswoon,

Where new translucencies move through

The secret spaces of the moon.

 

Beyond the Silence's covering,

The unborn purities await, —

Each folded in its angel-wing, —

Dawn-bugles from the gates of Fate.

 

The blue vaults of the heavens divide,

Dream spirits pass in, one by one,

Earth-radiances arise and glide,

Into the kingdoms of the Sun.

 

But you must pass still far beyond,

Above the terraced truths, and free

Your tranced soul from its last dream-bond

Into unringed Eternity.
