Ascension Hall Up old Ascension’s winding stair We climb day after day; As in some fairy castle where. To find the secrets hidden there. Enchanted pilgrims stray. And up a tower’s spiral climb, Forgetting all external time. Forever and a day. Sometimes from out an opened door Strange languages arc heard; Sweet words which past the Ausonian shore Went singing through the ocean's roar; Or, tones by time preferred. The gutturals of a harsher speech. Which north-men giumbled. each to each. Borrowed from beast and bird. Sometimes through windows small and round We glimpse a wondrous world. A continent whose deeps profound Arc all within a pin-point bound. Where still are flags unfurled From tower-top and sieger’s tent. As if in life’s least rudiment Familiar war lies curled. At night we catch the light of stars 1 hrough loop-holes set above; Perhaps the ruddy light of Mars Mashing from spears and scimitars. Perhaps the star of Love. 1 hen labor seems of small account. And onward then our spirits mount. As lightly as a dove. So up Ascension’s winding stair We climb for things afar; As in some fairy castle where Entwining steps obscurely dare 1 he heights where splendors are. Perhaps in some ecstatic noon. Or under some full-orbed moon. We shall attain a star. O. E. W. • V - V ■ Kiiihtriu
