Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

Stephen Crane·1871–1900·literary realism
laces among the stars,Soft gardens near the sun,Keep your distant beauty;Shed no beams upon my weak heart.Since she is hereIn a place of blackness,Not your golden daysNor your silver nightsCan call me to you.Since she is hereIn a place of blackness,Here I stay and wait.
