YOU that have found all Being a blaze of clearness: You that with loves and hates in blest control, On the sleek lawns of life ignore the nearness Of the unextinct volcano of man's soul: Pure, almost to eradicating gender: Somewhere in vales of innocence nursed apart: Tempering our Night with your large spirit's splendour, And full of fire as a tomato's heart: Still be yourself; still touch with tip of finger The daunting themes Thought pales at, from its birth; And never ev'n for one rash moment linger @3Anywhere near the roots@1 of aught on earth. Go your chaste way, far though it be from @3my@1 way; Take your rewards, and have your heart's desire; But richer is the beggar on the highway Who once has sighted Truth, though from the mire. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FAREWELL TO ARMS by GEORGE PEELE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, BY OUR OWN TOM DALY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE WALNUT-TREE OF BOARSTELL: CANTO 2 by WILLIAM BASSE TO THE HONOURABLE AND VIRTUOUS LADY, THE LADY TASBURGH by WILLIAM BASSE A COLD TEMPERAMENT by WILLIAM ROSE BENET |
