O Silent goblet! Red from head to heel

How did you feelWhen you were being twirled
Upon the potter’s wheel

‘I felt a conscious impulse in my clayTo break away
From the great potter’s hand that burned so warm,I felt a vast
Feeling of sorrow to be castInto my present form.’

‘Before that fatal hourThat saw me captive on the potter’s wheel
And cast into his crimson goblet-sleep,I used to feel
The fragrant friendship of a little flowerWhose root was in my bosom buried deep.’

‘The Potter has drawn out the living breath of meAnd given me a form which is the death of me,My past unshapely natural state was bestWith just one flower flaming through my breast.’
