LITANY

stealthily, it paced ahead
abreast, the darkening shadows
dancing fervently
on thorns of deep thicket;
afloat the hearts of the
roaring rivers

the twirling shadow
our lead, has faded tint
its peace acclaim apiece
have we, and for once cast
a glance!
and made a glimpse of its vanishing trail

now, come the paradise lost
whilst, in our open arms
laid the glittering future
upon which-
ripped us, the wailing soul
out of earth; was made the flesh
