The Ocean at Sunrise - ZaunköniG - 08.05.2012
The Ocean at Sunrise
How like the Presence of Creative Power
Intense and luminous, limitless and free -
Is this suffusion, which o'erspreads the sea,
And weds the waters, at the matin hour!
Behold how potently the radiant dower
Transmutes the ocean's dark immensity,
While to abysmal depths Night's shadows flec,
And on the ripples dance a diamond shower.
Oh, in such affluence of Love and Light,
Shall not the bursting spirit upward soar,
Unwavering in her mystic, starry flight,
Creation's utmost confines passing o'er,
Nor cease until she reach the Centre bright,
Where beams the unshadowed SUN for evermore?
