VICTORY

VICTORY
Ah, God ! that thou has made me thus,
Content of nought, intent to attain
The summits of hills amorous,
The crests desired of all of us,
By that fierce superflux of pain,
That battling with strange enemies,
The awful holocaust of gain,
And golden rushing of men slain
Before Thy throne, whose woven lies,
Fixed by enchantment in the dome
Of fiery aether, burn with eyes
Insatiate of Paradise—
Fixed, if the curse of brackish foam
Upon the salt unpiteous sea
Be fixed, or if the faith of Rome
Shall find in hearts of men a home
