The Secret Splendour

  Poems


 

Treasure of the Infinite

Within a stretch of our hand!

But the key to the Infinite

Is hard to understand.

 

God's single Sun is lying,

Sealed in atrance of night—

Trickling one ray through the key-hole

To honey our wins of sight.

 

O what shall turn in the grooves,

Set free the Orb of gold

And burst a noon of knowledge

From mysteries untold?

 

Vainly we grope lor the key,

To the ends of the earth we run,

While just a fragile finger

Making the sign of the One

 

Can touch through the narrow tunnel

 The spring of the secret cry

With which the lid breaks open

The all-seeing central Eye!
