When a wandering impulse from Heaven

      When a wandering impulse from heaven
      Visits the daily mind of man, lending
      Some alien hatchling who eyes up the sun,
      Our faithfulness is born in ignorance.
5     A wetted shadow robs us of rest,
      Knowing neither the mystery of birth
      Nor the disappearing gulf into which we’re poured.
      Our dying height is but the eagle’s nest.
