The Secret Splendour

Appeal

Will you not know

That aching hearts around you beat

 When lonely-rapturous you go

Beyond our friendless feet?

Is there some godlike star,

Alchemic flame earth has not seen?

Will you not, gazing far and far,

 Reveal its message by your mien?

O take us past our human tears

 To the ultimate shore—

A truth unchangeable to core

This labyrinthine universe!
