To the Heights-XXI
Let me not shame thee, my soul,
Let me not profane thee-
With a faithless glance or a straying step
Or a sigh that heaves not for thee.
Straight as the sun's ray, clear as the virgin spaces
Let my whole being converse and fix upon thee.
Thy voice is still and small-
Oh the delicatest thing that ever bloomed in a mortal frame!
Thy slightest wish, the most casual inclination
Be for me a thundering command and an impetuous drive
To immediate embodiment.
Thou art the Architect that builds from within,
From the deepest foundations:
The edifice thou rearest rises inexorably;
Nothing can mar it, nothing can shake it,
It stands a marvel of ages-
Time lies prostrate at its feet in awe and adoration.
Thou art the Child that we carry as in a womb
And nourish with the light that we press out of every cell and every pore;
Thou growest with each drop of the Grace that distils from above into our mortality-
Our common clay that houses the Divine Inhabitant thins out and dissolves,
Like a shadow passes out and merges into thy substance.
September 19, 1933
