Poem

Moments the mightiest pass uncalendared,
   And when the Absolute
   In backward Time outgave the deedful word
   Whereby all life is stirred:
“Let one be born and throned whose mould shall constitute
The norm of every royal-reckoned attribute,”
   No mortal knew or heard.
   But in due days the purposed Life outshone –
   Serene, sagacious, free;
   –Her waxing seasons bloomed with deeds well done,
   And the world’s heart was won . . .
Yet may the deed of hers most bright in eyes to be
Lie hid from ours–as in the All-One’s thought lay she –
   Till ripening years have run.
