Tolle lege

And in the summer’s sky the invisible
skylark‘s song sounds like the
carillon of bells in the blue bell-tower of infinity.

And I too am invisible for I cry with the lark
At its window
And, it’s you I’m singing of
Angel, you
in your sheer infinity, immanent in the sky, in that
Blue non-existent tower where the bell contains you
Where its sounding is the calling of your name.

I cry and the lark cries
And the bell tolls, and the sounds of summer and winter
Are the chimes of the earth
Ringing in the sky bell.
Earth has to earth
Fallen and gravity has told.

Gerald Cummins (1974)
