Poems by Themis

Every Form

Over all the earth and sky

Golden gifts of beauty lie;

Did you see the lovely Hand

That scattered over sea and land

Forms of rich beatitude,

Mirroring in every mood

Of line and hue and delicate tone

Mysteries of worlds unknown?

Did you see the flaming Heart

Infinity's white doorways part,

Pouring out the stars and suns

And the fiery light that runs

From vale to peak and over the hill,

— Fiat of His mighty Will.

Over all the sky and earth,

Innumerable sparks of mirth;

Over all the lands and seas,

Ineffable sweet melodies.

And every flash and every glow

Is He Himself, if we would know;

And every form and every line,

Is in itself the Word divine.
