The Adoration

Title:     The Adoration
Author: William Rose Benet [More Titles by Benet]

Now, like withdrawing music
Where pillared aisles implore,
You are a vanished choir,
A soft-closed door.

Victorious voices blended
Fade, and I kneel still-hearted.
Sudden my life is ended.
We have parted.

Lost in the vault's vast splendor
My ghost goes rising, thinning.
Can heartbreak be an end, or
Some strange beginning?

[The end]
William Rose Benet's poem: Adoration
