Classic Poem

Through brute nature upward rising,
——Seed up-striving to the light,
Revelations still surprising,
——My inwardness is grown insight.
——Still I slight not those first stages,
Dark but God-directed Ages;
——In my nature leonine
Labored & learned a Soul divine;
——Put forth an aspect Chaste, Serene,
Of nature virgin mother queen;
——Assumes at last the destined wings,
Earth & heaven together brings;
——While its own form the riddle tells
That baffled all the wizard spells
——Drawn from intellectual wells,
Cold waters where truth never dwells:
———It was fable told you so;—
——Seek her in common daylight's glow.
