TO MILTON by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY

First Line: AS WELL HOUSE UP THE HOMELESS BEDOUIN STARS
Last Line: THOU NOMAD OF GOD'S UNIVERSAL NIGHT!
Subject(s): GOD; LOVE; NIGHT; TEARS; BEDTIME;
As well house up the homeless Bedouin stars
And tent them permanent on the night's great desert,
As thy steep thoughts to circumscribe and fix
With human tears or home or human love; --
Thou nomad of God's universal night!
