Merops

Title:     Merops
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson [More Titles by Emerson]

What care I, so they stand the same,--
Things of the heavenly mind,--
How long the power to give them name
Tarries yet behind?

Thus far to-day your favors reach,
O fair, appeasing presences!
Ye taught my lips a single speech,
And a thousand silences.

Space grants beyond his fated road
No inch to the god of day;
And copious language still bestowed
One word, no more, to say.

[The end]
Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem: Merops
