Robert Laurence Binyon - Because Thou Art Nearest
Work rating: Low

Because thou art nearest
 To the mystery of the fire
 That is Earth`s and the soul`s
 And the body`s desire,
 Whereof we were made
 As a song out of sound,
 Trembling together
 And together enwound,
 O frailer, more fading
 The hope and the lure
 That are not where thou art:--
 They fade nor endure,
 But in thee is the secret,
 The star, and the fire,
 Ever nearer and dearer,
 My joy, my desire.
