Pass to thy Rendezvous of Light,
Pangless except for us -
Who slowly ford the Mystery
Which thou hast leaped across.

Her Losses make our Gains ashamed.
She bore Life's empty Pack
As gallantly as if the East
Were swinging at her Back -
Life's empty Pack is heaviest,
As every Porter knows -
In vain to punish Honey -
It only sweeter grows.

Image of Light, Adieu -
Thanks for the interview -
So long - so short -
Preceptor of the whole -
Coeval Cardinal -
Impart - Depart.

I groped for him before I knew
With solemn nameless need
All other bounty sudden chaff
For this foreshadowed Food
Which others taste and spurn and sneer -
Though I within suppose
That consecrated it could be
The only Food that grows.

"Go tell it" - What a Message -
To whom - is specified -
Not murmur - not endearment -
But simply - we obeyed -
Obeyed - a Lure - a Longing?
Oh Nature - none of this -
To Law - said Sweet Thermopylae
I give my dying Kiss.

Bliss is the Plaything of the child -
The secret of the man
The sacred stealth of Boy and Girl
Rebuke it if we can.

Hope is a strange invention -
A Patent of the Heart -
In unremitting action
Yet never wearing out -
Of this electric adjunct
Not anything is known
But it's unique momentum
Embellish all we own.

These held their Wick above the west -
Till when the Red declined -
Or how the Amber aided it -
Defied to be defined -
Then waned without disparagement
In a dissembling Hue
That would not let the Eye decide
Did it abide or no.

Touch lightly Nature's sweet Guitar
Unless thou know'st the Tune
Or every Bird will point at thee
Because a Bard too soon.

Long Years apart - can make no
Breach a second cannot fill -
The absence of the Witch does not
Invalidate the spell -
The embers of a Thousand Years
Uncovered by the Hand
That fondled them when they were Fire
Will stir and understand.
