FANCIES by OLIVA WARD BUSH

First Line: MID PARTED CLOUDS, ALL SILVER-EDGED
Last Line: AND LIFE'S STRANGE TALE IS TOLD.
Subject(s): AFRICAN AMERICANS - WOMEN;

Mid parted clouds, all silver-edged,
A gleam of fiery gold,
A dash of crimson-varied hues,
The Sunset Story's told.

A mirrored lake 'tween mossy banks,
A lofty mountain ridge,
A cottage nestling in the vale
Seen from a ruined bridge.

A woman longing to discern
Beyond the gleam of gold
A rush of memory, a sigh,
And Life's strange tale is told.
