John Bannister Tabb

1845-1909 / the United States

Cliffs

For ever face to face,
As towered of old
Within the Holy Place
The wings of gold.
One heralding the day
With kindled crest;
One reddened with the ray
That fires the west.
The bosom-vale between
Alike their own;
To each a heaven unseen,
A world unknown.
