A Thanksgiving.

The angels from o'erhead.
j thank Thee for the futile dream.
The word in water writ:
And for the things that only seem,
The hopes by vagrance lit.
thank Thee for the tight-closed door
The buried rainbow gold
The fool comes back from sea and
shore
To mine his fathers mold!
/ thank Thee for the glass and gaud
For shallowness uncouth:
These mask Thy glittering stars. O
God.
Thy ocean deeps OF truth:
Edward Wilbur Mason.
