Discretion
Watching the boy rage into beingI recall the parting restraintsArranged through infancy ascendingThrough tantrum to disenchantmentWith earthly fathers to loftier faultsSetting oneself abreast and aheadWith raiments cast in the sides of the northO by this light do not wrong him he isToo scrupulous that way it is his viceNo I am no prophet I just know thisTravail behind maturity is so well tracedIt passes through far countries clamberingUp yon distant mountainTo prospect for oneself and Christ
