Dawn

 STILL as the holy of holies breathes the vast,
Within its crystal depths the stars grow dim;
Fire on the altar of the hills at last
 Burns on the shadowy rim.



Moment that holds all moments; white upon
The verge it trembles; then like mists of flowers
Break from the fairy fountain of the dawn
 The hues of many hours.



Thrown downward from that high companionship
Of dreaming inmost heart with inmost heart,
Into the common daily ways I slip
 My fire from theirs apart.
