MONOCHROME

SSHUT fast again in Beauty’s sheathWhere ancient forms renew,The round world seems above, beneath,One wash of faintest blue,And air and tide so stilly sweetIn nameless union lie,The little far-off fishing fleetGoes drifting up the sky.Secure of neither misted coastNor ocean undefined,Our saddening sail is like the ghostOf one that served mankind,Who in the void, as we uponThis melancholy sea,Finds labor and allegiance done,And Self begin to be.

SHUT fast again in Beauty’s sheath

Where ancient forms renew,

The round world seems above, beneath,

One wash of faintest blue,

And air and tide so stilly sweetIn nameless union lie,The little far-off fishing fleetGoes drifting up the sky.

And air and tide so stilly sweet

In nameless union lie,

The little far-off fishing fleet

Goes drifting up the sky.

Secure of neither misted coastNor ocean undefined,Our saddening sail is like the ghostOf one that served mankind,

Secure of neither misted coast

Nor ocean undefined,

Our saddening sail is like the ghost

Of one that served mankind,

Who in the void, as we uponThis melancholy sea,Finds labor and allegiance done,And Self begin to be.

Who in the void, as we upon

This melancholy sea,

Finds labor and allegiance done,

And Self begin to be.
