The life that hath not willed itself to be,

Must clasp the life that willed, and be at peace;
Or, like a leaf wind-blown, through chaos flee;
A life-husk into which the demons go,
And work their will, and drive it to and fro;
A thing that neither is, nor yet can cease,
Which uncreation can alone release.

…in thy world immense
No look of sky or earth or man or beast;
” In the great hand of God I stand and thence”
Look out on life, his endless, holy feast.
To try to feel is but to court despair,
To dig for a sun within a garden fence;
Who does thy will, O God, he lives upon thy air.
