V. 2. / 122.) Sweeping It All Away . . .




            Sweeping it all away –
The wave upon the strand
Disappeared completely –
My buildings made of sand

Flattened – Smoothed out to zero
Was sand with sand again
Vanity dealt its death blow
Nothing left to see

And the little purple seashells
That did stud my vanquished walls
Taken of the stealing surge -- 
Treasured of the storm

For opened up to us in time
That splendid force of love
That stoops to shape its object
That takes away to give

It runs its full course
Completes its plan and
Back the purple seashells run
To tumble on the strand.
