The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas. - [Moon] The Universe is centered on neither the Earth nor the Sun--it is centered on God. - [Universe] Apes and ivory, skulls and roses, in junks of old Hong-Kong, Gliding over a sea of dreams to a haunted shore of song. - Apes and Ivory [Music] This is the song of the wind as it came, Tossing the flags of the Nations to flame. - Avenue of the Allies [Flags] There's a barrel-organ carolling across a golden street In the city as the sun sinks low; And the music's not immortal; but the world has made it sweet And fulfilled it with the sunset glow. - Barrel Organ [Music] A thousand creeds and battle cries, A thousand warring social schemes, A thousand new moralities And twenty thousand, thousand dreams. - Forward [Dreams] Our lady of the twilight She hath such gentle hands, So lovely are the gifts she brings From out of the sunset-lands, So bountiful, so merciful, So sweet of soul is she; And over all the world she draws Her cloak of charity. - Our Lady of Twilight [Twilight] Seven wise men on an old black settle, Seven wise men of the Mermaid Inn, Ringing blades of the one right metal, What is the best that a blade can win? - Tales of The Mermaid Tavern (II) [Wisdom] Go down to Kew in lilac-time, in lilac-time, in lilac-time; Go down to Kew in lilac-time (it isn't far from London). And you shall wander hand in hand with love in summer's wonderland; Go down to Kew in lilac-time (it isn't far from London). - The Barrel Organ [Lilacs] The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon the cloudy seas, The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding. - The Highwayman [Night] This outer world is but the pictured scroll Of worlds within the soul; A colored chart, a blazoned missal-book, Whereon who rightly look May spell the splendors with their mortal eyes, And steer to Paradise. - The Two Worlds [World] Trumpeter, sound for the splendour of God! . . . . Trumpeter, rally us, up to the heights of it! Sound for the City of God. - Trumpet Call (last lines) [God]
