THE STATUE



Into his dim vacuo
You cast Your vast shadow,
Cast as if a statue
Of You
Wrought in an unearthly hue,

Wrought a subtle change in him,
Wrought in fact a heart in him,
Hewn in an
Invisible hue, and wrought by
Non-human
HYou:

You, a giant statue in him,
He, mere bone of Your shadow's ebony.
