Classic and Contemporary Poetry

THEATRE-SONG, by HILDA CONKLING Poet's Biography
First Line: Eagles were flying over the sky
Last Line: On a morning long ago . . .

EAGLES were flying over the sky
And mermaids danced in the gold waters.
Eagles were calling over the sky
And the water was the color of blue flowers.
Sunshine was 'flected in the waves
Like meadows of white buds.
This is what I saw
On a morning long ago . . .
