The New Day: Sonnets | ||

LIII.
[But need I in his ear all this repeat]
But need I in his ear all this repeat,Whose lifted pen is victory's magic wand,
In whom sweet thoughts almost ere summoned meet,
Obedient to the cunning of his hand?
Friend! could the invisible burst into sight,
Thoughts, feelings, though impalpable as air
Ere shaped to fairy figures as you write,
Your touch in flashing symbols would lay bare.
No vulgar verse thus kindles into fire
Whose ardent fountain teems with sparkling spray,
Bright as the scintillations of a pyre
That rises faster than can waters play.
All things come at your will if only sought,
To illume the subtle links of thought to thought.
