329. Invocation

By Clara Shanafelt


O GLASS-BLOWER of time,
Hast blown all shapes at thy fire?
Canst thou no lovelier bell,
No clearer bubble, clear as delight, inflate me—
Worthy to hold such wine	5
As was never yet trod from the grape,
Since the stars shed their light, since the moon
Troubled the night with her beauty?
