still may the unearthly rainbow in the shell
shine castaway on imagination's shore
so be it God that I adore
your handiwork forevermore
let the rains come and dash the boats
that floated on the smoothed waters happily
against thee only can we stay though all that's living float away
that brinked the bright and holy days; each tinged
vestige of your presence here when viewed through unremitting tears
the fleeting of such cardinal years
your handiwork on all lost shores
is in my heart and evermore.
is in my heart and evermore.
