Take the moral law and make a nave of it
And from the nave build haunted heaven. Thus,

Like windy citherns hankering for hymns.”

—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“And he was lost among the waves,
His ship rolled helpless in the sea,
The fourth month of his voyage
He shouted grievously
“Beloved, do not think of me.””
