The Void

Nor imagined
heavens
nor vision
of hells

Nor sombre
tones
nor temple
bells

Nor still
waters
nor torpid
swells

Nor
sullen hills
nor smiling
dells

Nor seashore
pebbles
nor sparkled
shells

Nor witches
brews
nor magic
spells

Nor choral
songs
nor fading
knells

Nothing
the vagrant
mood dispels

*

 
Under sky
aflame
with azure
blue
 
Some fill
the void
with Canaan
hopes
 

I rinse
the heart
with rue
