      SALVETE!

      Oh ye, who tread the trodden path

       And keep the narrow law

       In famished faith that Judgment Day

       Shall blast your sluggard mists away

       And show what Moses saw!

       Oh thralls of subdivided time,

       Hours Measureless I sing

       That own swift ways to wider scenes,

       New-plucked from heights where Vision preens

       A white, unwearied wing!

       No creed I preach to bend dull thought

       To see what I shall show,

       Nor can ye buy with treasured gold

       The key to these Hours that unfold

       New tales no teachers know.

       Ye'll need no leave o' the laws o' man,

       For Vision's wings are free;

       The swift Unmeasured Hours are kind

       And
