WISDOM.
A mellow wisdom is an autumn sky,
The blue of which is very pure and pale,
While oft the clouds, rainful and golden rich,
Follow the course of the leaf-strewing gale,
Or of shadowy moon-white, builded loftily
Like ships, away into the dimness sail.
The blue of which is very pure and pale,
While oft the clouds, rainful and golden rich,
Follow the course of the leaf-strewing gale,
Or of shadowy moon-white, builded loftily
Like ships, away into the dimness sail.
For wisdom hath a pure, unsensual love;
Calm sees the wreck of fading loveliness.
From heart-illumined thoughts its sweetness melts,
For future strength and fairness earth to bless;
While thoughts, dream-beautiful and stately, move
New joy in sky-havens distant to possess.
Calm sees the wreck of fading loveliness.
