Day

Topics: classic

In day from some titanic past it seems     As if a thread divine of memory runs;     Born ere the Mighty One began his dreams,         Or yet were stars and suns.     But here an iron will has fixed the bars;     Forgetfulness falls on earth's myriad races:     No image of the proud and morning stars         Looks at us from their faces.     Yet yearning still to reach to those dim heights,     Each dream remembered is a burning-glass,     Where through to darkness from the Light of Lights         Its rays in splendour pass.
