Triumphs I
Chaos and Cosmos
Confounded, I watch
The shattered world around me
Where the creature distinguished by reason
Does constant violence to his own kind.
No sense it makes that we
Who comprehend the order of stars and atoms
Remain in inner chaos,
Causing pain and suffering,
Yet blaming only circumstance.
Yet some have found
That Order from which flows
A mighty cosmos, peace, serenity and power.
They hear the gentle whisper of tenderness and truth.
The Dream
I came home from my errands in the rain;
There was no one at home for me to see.
I looked for some new piece of news in vain;
You know how dull a day like this can be.
And so I fell asleep and had a dream
That I had found the place for which I hope –
A house with airy rooms where it would seem
That I could box my treasures with a rope.
At night, I’d watch the window
