Under the tree
Enter heaven
None too soon with hell outside
Rebellious matter spurning mind
Prunes anachronistic pride
To fall, but not like cherry blossoms
Here in amethystine light
The coral dome and glossy skin
Shelter every peaceful thing
Love, its Lord, and His delight –
Stay a moment peacefully
Outside are the chasms
