Blowing out the candles on my cake
I muse with the music of this mortal sphere.
And congratulate and condole at once;
The agony and ecstasy meld in one celestial ball
Unkempt with imagined beauty and power-
Beyond reckoning.
Confine it not, nor fetter,nor furl
But let fly surreptitious sobriety
That hath on winged fancy flown
And forever toward Heaven's unboundedness.
