155. Three Poems

By Ralph Hodgson


I BABYLON—where I go dreaming
When I weary of to-day,
Weary of a world grown gray.

II God loves an idle rainbow,
No less than laboring seas.	5

III Reason has moons, but moons not hers
Lie mirrored on her sea,
Confounding her astronomers,
But, oh, delighting me!
