THE BLIND GOD

Streaked with immortal blasphemies,

Betwixt His twin eternities

The Shaper of mortal destinies

Sits in that limbo of dreamless sleep,

Some nothing that hath shadows deep.

The world is only a small pool

In the meadows of Eternity,

And men like fishes lying cool;

And the wise man and the fool

In its depths like fishes lie.

When an angel drops a rod

And he draws you to the sky

Will you bear to meet your God

You have streaked with blasphemy?
