First Line: Burned into parchment, sung in a brook
Last Line: For the virginal garland of spring.
Subject(s): Brooks; Spring; Streams; Creeks


Burned into parchment, sung in a brook,
Body of it, breath of it.. In an old, old book
Yesterday I found the song
That the night-shards filtered through my tongue—
And tomorrow.. another bright brow will wear it
For the virginal garland of Spring.
