Email Poem - Sunset on the SpireEmail Poem

Sunset on the Spire

 All that I dream 
By day or night 
Lives in that stream 
Of lovely light. 
Here is the earth, 
And there is the spire; 
This is my hearth, 
And that is my fire. 
From the sun's dome 
I am shouted proof 
That this is my home, 
And that is my roof. 
Here is my food, 
And here is my drink, 
And I am wooed 
From the moon's brink. 
And the days go over, 
And the nights end; 
Here is my lover, 
Here is my friend. 
All that I 
Can ever ask 
Wears that sky 
Like a thin gold mask.
