Sixty-eight sings silently of light, Inner song reflecting inner grace. Xylophones send messages by wind: Tapestries no hand can hope to trace; Yearnings no beatitude can blight. Even in the fortress of the mind, Intimations of the coming night Give way to what no fortune can rescind: Here, and only here, is paradise, The moment that gives beauty time and place.
