Poems of Narad

Wonder Without Cease

As a youth unconscious, unaware
I revelled in the mystic life of soil
And verdant branches fragrant, flower-hung,
Her mysteries revealed in youthful toil.

For as I laboured and into manhood grew
I sensed a sealed divinity in things
Felt a Grace surround yet hardly knew
The occult Presence that in the life-force sings.

Years have passed and genius I have seen,
God-men who see beyond the walls of form
And comprehend the soul within the seed
Awake to the wisdom that works in star and storm.

And now I feel at times that perfect peace,
The secret Will and wonder without cease.
