To the Stars
Where am I? Say what rapid wing flight
Of winged intelligence bears me from this earth
This lowly earth – up to the seats of light
And palaces where glory has its birth
Stay, burning Suns – eternal torches stay
A moment in your rapid hurried way
Rest your warped resplendent wings & let my Soul
Now far beyond the distant world's control
Sink in the dazzling brightness of your dazzling rays
What fires lamps – what lamps fires are these
What body busy motion, & what living
