Queerer than you could think.

Cheered up by the sky’s appearance
In the midst of clouds adrift;
Queerer than the unseen clearing
Was the detail of the rift:

Harder than a diamond’s sparkle,
Farther than the sun’s last turn,
Sharper than a harpoon darting,
Worthier than purses earned,

Tenderly in pieces splendid,
Folding distances untold,
Endlessly in time suspended,
Older than the world’s patrol.
