TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3. CRADLED IN FLAME by EDWARD CARPENTER

First Line: CRADLED IN FLAME
Last Line: THY FORM, THY FORM, INDELIBLE REMAINS.
Subject(s): BABIES; CRADLES; LOVE; INFANTS;

CRADLED in flame,
Or like a tiny charm-figure within an agate reclining, from that which
encloses it inseparate, indivisible—
So, deep in my heart, through all that chances,
Thy form, thy form, indelible remains.
