Poetry project

By, David Wilcox

Be music, night Be music, night,

That her sleep may go Where angels have their pale tall choirs

Be a hand, sea, That her dreams may watch

Thy guides man touching the green flesh of the world

Be a voice, sky, That her beauties may be counted   

And the stars will tilt their quiet faces   Into the mirror of her loveliness

Be a road, earth, That her walking may take thee

Where the towns of heaven lift their breathing spires

O be a world and a throne, God, That her living may find its weather

And the souls of ancient bells in a child's book   Shall lead her into Thy wondrous house
