SIMPLICITY.

If power were mine to WELD control
OF Time within my heart and soul,
Saving from ruin and decay
What / hold dearest, should pray;
That may never cease to be
Wooed daily by Expectancy;
That evening shadow in mine eyes
Dim not the light of new surprise:
That may feel, till life be spent,
Each day the sweet bewilderment
OF fresh delight in simple things
In snowy winters, golden springs,
And quicker heartbeats at the thought
Of all the good that man has wrought.
But may never face a dawn
With all the awe and wonder gone,
Or in late twilight fail to see
Charm in the stars old sorcery.
