Of azure glass and waiting mist --
A sea of peace crystalline --
The drifting clouds that ride the winds uncertain,
Those airs who touch, caress and freeze
...
As though in darkness given life
These shadows of the mind and heart
Rise with discord, hate and strife
And break the very sky apart.
...
Behold the foreign, darkened glade
Where native strength began,
Entwined in rage, a welcome shade
That to the twilight ran.
