THE URN OF THE YEAR by EDITH MATILDA THOMAS

First Line: A LITTLE WHILE AND ALL THIS GOLDEN FIRE
Last Line: AND FROM THE SEED WILL BLOOM ESCAPE THE DARK.
A LITTLE while and all this golden fire
Shall fall in silver ash and be inurned,
And for the flower in vain shall man inquire,
In mystic salvatory undiscerned;
But in the ash will be a living spark,
And from the seed will bloom escape the dark.
