A poem by Eunice Tietjens

The Altar Of Heaven

________________________________________________
Title:     The Altar Of Heaven
Author: Eunice Tietjens [More Titles by Tietjens]


Beneath the leaning, rain-washed sky this great white
circle--beautiful!

In three white terraces the circle lies, piled one on
one toward Heaven. And on each terrace the
white balustrade climbs in aspiring marble, etched
in cloud.
And Heaven is very near.
For this is worship native as the air, wide as the
wind, and poignant as the rain,
Pure aspiration, the eternal dream.

Beneath the leaning sky this great white circle!

Peking
