To God

If thou are a god indeed, Ah! I wonder if thou still seek abode in thy lonely cage 
of thy freedom. If ever thou seek life in the begging souls of the temple door; if 
thou seek delight in the holy dim lit candles.

My heart is a grief for a place in heaven and beauty makes me dream of thee. But 
thou hide in the empty hues of earth and wake in hymens and tales of men. So 
much are men in thy company, yet thou are a lonely soul.
