No, you never will bind him
To your signs and your burdens! The least chink -- he's inside it, Like the supplest of gymnasts. By the drawbridges And flocks in migration, By the telegraph poles, God's escaping us. No, you never will train him To abide and to share! He, in feelings' resident slush, Is a gray floe of ice. No, you never will catch him! On a thrifty dish, God Never thrives in the window Like domestic begonias! All, beneath the roof's vault, Were awaiting the builder, The call. Poets and pilots -- All gave up in despair. He's the sprint -- and he's moving. The whole volume of stars Is, from Alpha to Omega, Just a trace of his cloak.
1922
