The lark that seeks him in the summer sky

Finds there the great blue mirror of his soul;

Winged with the dumb need of he knows not what,

He finds the mute speech of he knows not whom.

Is not the wide air, after the cocoon,

As much God as the moth-soul can receive?

Doth not God give the child within the womb

Some guess to set him groping for the world,

Some blurred reflection answering his desire?

We, shut in this blue womb of doming sky,
