Poems (Katharine Elizabeth Howard)/Bar unique

by Katharine Elizabeth Howard

BAR UNIQUE TO JONJON

God made you in his image to stoop above a book?Stand up erect and look! Learn from God's book—His free hand drawings, forest, sea and sky.Study the stars at night'Mid velvet darkness and bespangled light.In the deep wood go search, and in the laveOf rhythmic wave find symphonies.In the far future, thought of ManShall solve for the supernal raceA system free from barrier,—As is the system of the UniverseWhose bar unique is space.
