The final glow of earth-shattering inspiration | 1 |
relied on the moon, that had nested in the wings | 2 |
of the dawn of all the splendid Creation, | 3 |
eventually to follow the dark. All of the wavering flings | 4 |
| |
of the shores that relied on what rain brings | 5 |
to fill them, fill them with a full supply, | 6 |
was the recoil in this snake-like plan | 7 |
to cause each particle of earth to wither in dry | 8 |
| |
loneliness. If dripping clouds had not been there to ban | 9 |
the desert the shores would have stretched in stealth | 10 |
to be like the snake in the grass, a friend to the will | 11 |
involved in plundering the world of all its wealth, | 12 |
| |
then the place One had envisioned to be a paradise fulfill, | 13 |
would smolder on ability to thrive in righteous thrill. | 14 |
