When of a sudden in a calm night sky,
Stenciled upon the dark, | first behold
The silver lances of the searchlights ;
ring,
Each with its terminal cloud of rowing
gold
Then from her prisoning sky
The spirit of beauty leaps to hail that
kindred thing.
For then to her moment it appears
As though in this deep, weltering trough

We gropers had evolved some noble rite
Of utter loveliness-as though we hurled
Our souls up those bright spears,
Passionate for the stars, children at last
of light!
