The Altar Of Heaven

Beneath the leaning, rain-washed sky this great white
    circle--beautiful!
In three white terraces the circle lies, piled one on
    one toward Heaven. And on each terrace the
    white balustrade climbs in aspiring marble, etched
    in cloud.
And Heaven is very near.
For this is worship native as the air, wide as the
    wind, and poignant as the rain,
Pure aspiration, the eternal dream.
Beneath the leaning sky this great white circle!
