THE POOLS OF PEACE, by JOAN CAMPBELL
First Line: The little pools-of-peace lie far
Last Line: So far from dusty days.
Subject(s): Peace
First Line: The little pools-of-peace lie far
Last Line: So far from dusty days.
Subject(s): Peace
THE little Pools-of-Peace lie far
From dusty ways of Noon,
Along the winding paths of Sleep
To where the hills of Twilight keep
The gardens of the Moon.
When night comes softly down the sky
And lights each waiting star
The Minstrels of the Moon play low
For dancing feet of winds that go
To those still pools afar.
The little Winds-of-Dream go swift
And scatter with light hands
The Dust-of-Dreams to seal the sight
Of those who weary of the light
And seek for Elfin lands.
O, follow then the little winds
Along these shadowy ways
And find the Pools-of-Peace that lie
So fair beneath the dreaming sky
So far from dusty days.
