The Lost Eden[1]

By William Watson

{{center block| Proffering fortunes
⁠Out of his indigence,
Royal the dowry
Man promised his soul.

" Not as the beasts
That perish, am I," he said.
" Mine is eternity,
Theirs the frail day."

Crown of creation
Long he conceited him
Next to their fashioner,
Lord of the worlds.
