VERITAS by BERNICE BROWN BETTMAN

First Line: BY WIND AND FLAME
Last Line: OF THE WIND.
Subject(s): WIND;
By wind and flame
Are lifted up
The mind and body
While they sup.

But wind outlasts
The flame and so
Reason finds
Where feet may go.

Yet seek in vain
When trees are thinned
The changing shadow
Of the wind.
