TERRA DOMUS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Above the deep-set valley
Last Line: Our home is here!
Subject(s): Earth; Home; World


Above the deep-set valley
The mountain-ranges rise;
Above the clouded summits,
The boundless skies.

Beyond the crested surges,
Broad plains of ocean are,
Beyond the dim hoizons
The evening star.

Beyond, above the limits
Of toil and pain and strife,
Gleams like a fitful beacon
The blessed life.

Beyond Earth's quick mutations,
Bright hopes and glooms of fear --
Ah! but high heaven affrights us,
Our home is here!
