Graduation (to SH)

As one chapter comes to close
Look to the stars, in grand delight
Spread thine wings of brazen gold
And take flight

Whence the lark e’er softly sings
T’wards the gently lanterned day
Indelibly - Memoirs; doth pring
Those works and plays…

To the stars of crystal’d free
Go thine way but ne’er a-bye
Ev’n foams apart; In jubilee,
Go forth…
  And fly!
