Explore "Ye who have the stable world" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Ye who have the stable world / In the keeping of your hands. / Flocks and men, the lasting hills, / And the ever-wheeling stars;
Ye who freight with wondrous things / The wide-wandering heart of man / And the galleon of the moon, / On those silent seas of foam;
Oh, if ever ye shall grant / Time and place and room enough / To this fond and fragile heart / Stifled with the throb of love,
On that day one grave-eyed Fate, / Pausing in her toil, shall say, / "Lo, one mortal has achieved / Immortality of love! "
