A Likeness of Light

A ball of light,

so full of color;

red, green, and yellow,

to no more be mellow,

or feel the silence

that guards against likeness-

the likeness of dim light.

She has a treasure

of immeasurable pleasure

no more confusion, and bury displeasure.

Bring forth your treasure,

merry with pleasure-

your great ball of light

of such pure delight

to guard against deeper fright.
