Entity
Burn on, proud flesh, the heart must pound Its fortress down, clay shift in rock, What tree is leaf by leaf unwound, The seasons steadily unlock. Or, flash, to danger's raging star The thicket will unveil its face - A tiger crouched, or fawn to bar With gentle look the crashing chase. Sun burns the cloud from statue-stone, Thought scars the image on the mind, Beyond the bulwark of the bone The sea leaps, furious and blind. Cleave to your mould, breath is a gust Wolf-warm upon a snow-cold hill. Shine, glow-worm, lest the windy dust Forever in your darkness spill.
