Excerpt from The Beautiful City in Song: And Other Poems IN the heart a watch-tower rises, With an outlook of surprises Clear of view When mists are thickest, Far-off visions there are quickest; Love makes no account of distance, Time and space make small resistance; Never foiled in its endeavor, Onward to the great forever, lo, it passes that dividing, Where, beyond the Shadow hiding.
