THE FORGING OF THE SUN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Undying sun of the years, pour forth thy blood
Last Line: To be our song, our glory, and our fate.
Subject(s): Sun


UNDYING sun of the years, pour forth thy blood
Till men grow drunken with the strength thereof:
Let us be wrapped in flame as in a hood.
And perish and be reborn in fiery love.
Sun that grows pale each winter through the bold
Death-struggle of desire we recreate
On the worn anvils of will, your power old
To be our song, our glory, and our fate.
