Grace Unasked..........................

 In the world forever one

With the informing Love

 That gives its life to Time,

In the day of alchemy,

Come round at last, transmuting

Corruption to pollution,

Transmuting lies to blindness,

And light to dark, the known

Destroyed in our unknowing.

Under the sun that shines

Beyond evil and good,

The goldeneye alights

On the cold river.  Grace

Unasked, merely allowed,

Gleams round him on the water
