Largesse Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

we could have had our fill of sapphires

counting the blue skied wonders we've observed

or had the key dams over flow with music

flood the world with diadems we'd already heard

such has been the excess of starlight, rubied leaves in rhe darkening

winds

we couldn't imagine in the sunrise days

with the clocks outrunning us the coronets, the Christmas drums

that so much treasure left to us

could last till Kingdom Come.
