A poem by Cale Young Rice

Invocation

________________________________________________
Title:     Invocation
Author: Cale Young Rice [More Titles by Rice]

(From a High Cliff)


Sweep unrest
Out of my blood,
Winds of the sea! Sweep the fog
Out of my brain
For I am one
Who has told Life he will be free.
Who will not doubt of work that's done,
Who will not fear the work to do.
Who will hold peaks Promethean
Better than all Jove's honey-dew.
Who when the Vulture tears his breast
Will smile into the Terror's Eyes.
Who for the World has this Bequest--
Hope, that eternally is wise.




[The end]
Cale Young Rice's poem: Invocation
