THE SKY-LINE by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: MAN BUILDS HIS BARRIERS, OBSCURES THE LIGHT
Last Line: THE SKY-LINE CHANGES, -- THERE IS STILL THE SKY.
Subject(s): HEAVEN; LIGHT; SKY; PARADISE;
MAN builds his barriers, obscures the light
That only waits the word to glad his sight;
But heaven is overhead, though far and high;
The sky-line changes, -- there is still the sky.
