Conformity is the Crime

      O arrow of constancy
        Thy iron will be mine-- remind!
      As soul upbourne on spirit-wind
        Begets the image that created thine.
5     From all time-mist
        Fly on, as this
      Heart-rhyme in mind twists
        Turning thoughts to goodness.
      Heart to heart aloft,
10      Mystical rose and bright cross--
      Invented in airs I lost:
        Thrown to ocean and sea-dross.
      Here spirit and spirit meet,
        Fiery yolk and albumen sweet,
15    Disguised in faces
                         the hidden praises;
        Tossed and aloft they congreet
      In songs no other sees as hosannahs.
