God is Asleep!
God is asleep!
The great eyes keep
No watch on us:
Love-luminous
Are they with the gleam
Of a magic dream
In which they behold
Man's heart a gold
Of deathless light:
Never they sight
The sobbing dark
We hark and hark
Within our breast.
Vainly we quest
Power from that glance
Of lonely trance
To change our own
Life's trembling tone.
O we must break
The trance awake
And free the dense
Omnipotence,
Making it know
The world is woe
And not the bliss
God's dream-abyss
Kindles to Him!
Until the gaze
Of God outblaze
To catch the dim
Misery below,
There can be no
Earth-alchemy.
Prayer after prayer
Must cleave the air,
Page 98
An ocean-cry
To shake the sky:
All life must yearn
Without one stop:
Then suddenly
The high gold hue
Of eternity
Shall time ward drop
And God's dream turn
Dazzlingly true!
