Vigils

LONE heart, learning

By one light burning, Slow discerning of worldhood's worth ; Soul, awaking By night and taking Roads forsaking enchanted earth : Man, unguided And self-divided Clocked by silence which tells decay ; You that keep In a land asleep One light burning till break of day : You whose vigil Is deed and sigil,

Bond and service of lives afar—

Seek, in seeing Your own blind being, Peace, remote in the morning star.
