SILVER-FOOTED DAWN, by                     Poet's Biography
Last Line: What mirage, this, in the desert of my heart?
Subject(s): Happiness


Silver-footed dawn.
Treading the still air;
The sun-censer's golden fume
Tinting the turquoise dome.
Descends to the greened floor of this cathedral of nature.
The shy wood-goddess.
Vainly clinging to her vanishing raiment of mist,
With bowed head weeps tears of dew,
That overfill the flower-hearts,
Weeping joyfully, this hour.
Night's sorrow, day's joy;
Bird-votary's hymn of love;
The fading silence and morning star;
Man-child s awakening laughter . . ;
What mirage, this, in the desert of my heart?
