THE SONG-BIRD FALLS ASLEEP, by                     Poet's Biography
Last Line: On it, drifts my love: a precious argosy!
Subject(s): Conduct Of Life


The song-bird falls asleep;
The West, a silent song;
Timorous the breath of the breeze.
Like my soul at thy feet.
The eucalyptus, after bathing her hair in the pink-gold shower,
Puts a flower in it:
The evening star.
Shadows trip in from the East,
Like Bacchantes of nothing; as
Day breathes his soul into the night;
And my heart flows like a stream
In search of a vasty sea,
Washing away life s impurity;
The song-bird falls asleep;
The West, a silent song;
Timorous the breath of the breeze.
Like my soul at thy feet.
The eucalyptus, after bathing her hair in the pink-gold shower,
Puts a flower in it:
The evening star.
Shadows trip in from the East,
Like Bacchantes of nothing; as
Day breathes his soul into the night;
And my heart flows like a stream
In search of a vasty sea,
Washing away life s impurity;
On it, drifts my love: a precious argosy!
