Notes About The Poem

For Oscar On His 10th Birthday

Child of sun and sky, child of isle and sea,
  the moon and stars to light my earthly trail -
his the taken road, the unmapped journey,
  his the unwritten Oscarian tale!
When beyond mortal youth this world you quest
  leave behind unworldly comprehensions -
seek it wide, seek it wise, and seek it blest
  and beseech its higher interventions.
Long may the Muses sing when your heart sighs,
  true your lyre echo, your mighty bow draw -
estrange yourself from the Gods in disguise
  and believe in you and all you care for.
When the blast of heavenly trumpets come
yours eternal will be a new kingdom.
