EARLIER POEMS<br />
Your roots are God, the pauseless cause,<br />
But your boughs sway to self-windy laws.<br />
Perception is no dreamy birth<br />
And magnifies transfigured earth.<br />
With each new light, our eyes receive<br />
A larger power to perceive.<br />
If we could unveil our eyes,<br />
Become as wise as the All-wise,<br />
No love would be, no mystery :<br />
Love and joy dwell in infinity.<br />
Love begets love ;<br />
reaching highest<br />
We find a higher still, unseen<br />
From where we stood to reach the first<br />
Moses must die to live in Christ,<br />
The seed be buried to live to green.<br />
Perfection must begin from worst.<br />
Christ perceives a larger reachless love,<br />
More full, and grows to reach thereof.<br />
The green plant yearns for its yellow fruit.<br />
Perfection always is a root,<br />
And joy a motion that doth feed<br />
Itself on light of its own speed.<br />
And round its radiant circle runs,<br />
Creating and devouring suns.<br />
