Attend this vision I’ve beheld
A gift, once fear has been expelled;
Arise, fleet form of steel and chrome
Away to your beatific home
Above the drear terrestrial race
Adrift in white empyrean lace
Among the birds that draw so near
Awash in sunlight, pure and clear
Aloft, you gaze on those below
Amazed by worlds they’ll never know
Hermit Thrush
