The Soul


Unlocked to life by Love's long key
Of Heaven's depths and mystery
The Soul was sent thro stars-way led
A waking wings to birth's bright bed.
Winnowed her forth allgifting breath
Over the fathoms of deep death.
Up fire's feathers her flight was sped
With sun's hot help to day's rich red.
She wrang thro all the heavens' room
Upwaxing to wife's gifted womb.
She was so wide of springs beyond
Broad into narrow knot and bond.
Her waistless width timeless tallness
Was set in body's sweet smallness.
Up heaven's long and endless leap
She sprang to bed and woke from sleep
In childly clothes, at mother's breast,
Of wide wonders, to body blessed.
