Vision the sun and stars,
The gold-faced central sun,
Wandering like glittering Apollo
With the planet muses
Across the star-enamelled fields of space.
Spy out the tilting ice-tipped Earth,
Curving through nothingness,
Dogged by her blue void-shadow.
Look from the eyes in the astonished mask
Of the beardless and purse-mouthed moon,
At the merging and melting of moods
On the face of the northern hemisphere.
The hand is in the glove
Which is clasped by suns
And buttoned by the Earth,
Yet the wrinkling of matter
Shows the working of fingers.
