Yesterday

That yesterday's engrossing note
whereas had done, somehow had wrote
that lengthening my own by thought
God's speaking as by sunlight caught!

A glimpse unfounded as I walk,
the constant image of thy balk
expecting naught, excluding ought
but some ingesting of trails sought!

Do heighten, hold with savor caught,
like morrow's springing, taut by taught!
Oh God, with wisdom, finish fought
like prophecy in witnessed loft ~

does raise the spirit . . . to selfless wrought!
