SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 65, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A moon-white moth against the moon
Last Line: So great and so ephemeral.
Subject(s): Happiness


A moon-white moth against the moon,
A sea-blue raindrop in the sea,
A grain of pollen on the air,
This little virgin soul might be.
As if a passing breath of wind
Should stir the poplars in the night,
Her wondrous spirit woke from sleep,
And shivered with unknown delight,
As if a sudden garden door
Should open in a granite wall,
She trembled at the brink of joy,
So great and so ephemeral.
