O
So old it was, so new, the hushed surprise:
After a long, long search, it came to be,
Home folded me.
The far, first stars like tapers to my awe,
In the dim hands of hid, benignant Powers,
At search long hours.
That they have found us children after all?
And did you know, O Wonderful and Dear,
That I was here?
