Sun Blossoms

Sky Transcendent

THY sky is a blue fire,
Aglow in the night;
What eternities are piled
On its starry height!

Earth's clamour fails to reach
Its tranquil shore;
Only the billows of time
Circle ever more.

And world on world is cast
From its sleepless whirl
And a lustre within its heart
Glows like a pearl

In a still secrecy
Breathed by sun and moon
From the bright solitude
Of the Timeless-swoon.

The sky is a gold fire
Of starry dust
From heaven's immensities
Wrought, lone and hushed.
