Equipoise
At dawn and dusk
The lights are most equal—
The light of the sun is equal
To the light of the moon—
Then is the house light equal
To the light of the sun and the moon—
Then is the light of the farm equal
To the light of the city—
At this time the light of the golden child is equal
To the light of the dappled citizen—
At this time the light of the lion is equal
To the light of the sequestered rabbit—
Now the light of the raindrop is equal
To the light of the river—
Now the light of the leaf is equal
To the light of the star—
Then is the light of a man equal
To the light of the world—
