New Hymn |
| Source of all we hope or dread, sheepdog, jackal, rattler, swan |
| We hunt your face and long to trust that your hid mouth will say again |
| Let there be light, a clear new day |
| But when we thirst in this dry night |
| We drink from hot wells poisoned with the blood of children |
| And when we strain to hear a steady homing beam |
| Our ears are balked by stifled moans |
| And howls of desolation from the throats of sisters, brother, wild men |
| Clawing at the gates for bread |
| Even our own feeble hands aim to seize the crown you wear |
| And work our private havoc through the known and unknown lands of space |
| Absolute in flame beyond us, seed and source of Dark and Day |
| Maker whom we beg to be our mother father comrade mate |
| Till our few atoms blow to dust or form again in wiser lives |
| Or find your face and hear our name in your calm voice the end of night if dark |
| may end |
| Wellspring gold of dark and day, be here, be now |
