A REVERIE
Moments the mightiest pass uncalendared, And when the Absolute In backward Time outgave the deedful word Whereby all life is stirred:
"Let one be born and throned whose mould shall constitute The norm of every royal-reckoned attribute,"No mortal knew or heard.
But in due days the purposed Life outshone -Serene, sagacious, free;
--Her waxing seasons bloomed with deeds well done, And the world's heart was won . . .
Yet may the deed of hers most bright in eyes to be Lie hid from ours--as in the All-One's thought lay she -Till ripening years have run.
