I kiss my hand
To the stars, lovely-asunder
Starlight, wafting him out of it ; and
Glow, glory in thunder ;
Kiss my hand to the dappled-with-damson west :
Since, tho' he is under the world's splendour and wonder,
His mystery must be unstressed, stressed ;
For I greet him the days I meet him, and bless when I understand.
