Who Art Thou
Sonnet
With what bright contagion hast Thou infected
My lay unknowing heart that loitered in Time?
How many lassoes hast Thou on mind deployed
That leash my thoughts to Thy sole theme?
When did these old solitary roads take shape
Into Thy enduring semblance ravaging the heart?
In each mote of flying dust there is Thy hope,
Oh why must my heart in this quandary be caught?
Who art Thou, stalking stealing all my shame,
Like a wayward delinquent have I now turned,
Dancing and revelling within with Thy name,
Absolved from the mores of Time I now stand.
Consign then my form and my name
At Thy feet O blessed Immortal Flame!
