THE ROAD TO CAMULOS, by                    
First Line: The road that sun-swept april noon
Last Line: Along my road.


The road that sun-swept April noon
Was inland bound,
Lost to the whispering sea and dune,
Aloof to sound.

Behind, the granite range broke through
A hesitant mist;
The mountain-blue and lupine-blue
Made amethyst.

The lupine-blue ran all the way
To Camulos,
Where only the wood-dove, white and gray
As a shadow, goes.

Past lupine-blue and orange scent,
Wistaria sheaves
Hung wistfully as time long-spent
From low long eaves.

I came down eucalyptus shade,
A passer-by;
I heard, through golden light there laid,
A peacock cry.

He called; he stepped upon the scene --
Strange episode --
One moment drew his train of green
Along my road.
