The Adventure of the Apocalypse

  Poems


Saviour-guide

So many ways I had gone,

Called by the hues

Of a myriad thronging dreams

That never could fuse.


You showed the one white path;

Treading its calm, all else

I saw as a leap of sand

Away from the magic wells


That seem so faint and far

Through the wandering haze

Which now at last I know

As the outward human gaze.


Gone is the straining look;

Blissfully blind

With love of the Secret Crescent

Whose vanishing point is the mind,


I walk a pearly roadstead

Beyond all drossy days—

A curve to heaven drawn by

That Silver Smile of Your face.


Deep and more deep within,

I am guided to my rest

Where the wells of deathless nectar

Hide in each mortal breast.
