Excerpt from Twilight Thoughts: A Poetic Reverie on Man
Twilight Thoughts
On going forth - out in this wondrous world -
Man doth behold, in all their gorgeousness,
The vaulted sky and verdure green of earth,
And, in his glory, sees the work of God
In every living thing Dame Nature claims.
He reads the stars and, looking far beyond,
He brings to eye the sight of other spheres
Which, circling round - in space unlimited -
Revolve around us, as this world revolves
Around the sun. He plants a tiny twig,
In after years beholds a mammoth tree.
He marvels of its growth and learns thereby
How mighty things from smallest sources rise.
He notes the varied changes Time hath wrought,
He dips far in the future of all things
And studies for himself the greater world,
But finds himself a pigmy in the strife -
Deceived, inspired by spirits good and bad.
