The soft voluptuous opiate shades
the sun done gone, its eager light dispell'd (i too will soon be
shoo'd, dispell'd)
in the haze
--of rest and night and of--
oblivion.
Splendour of ended day
floating and filling me at last,
o hour prophetic, that dream-hour reprising past,
inflaming soul with divinest things:
jazz-lush-crush-of-life till sweet-last linger gleams,
sing.....
This is thy hour, o worn soul, for free flight
into that vast and wordless far---
---books closed,
the lesson done,
the day erased,
time and its day at rest
night fully forth
engulfing,
silent,
gazing,
pondering themes loved most best
of life
and sleep
and blessed hope the child of stars.....
whatcha up to
