SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 34 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: THE WORLD IS A GOLDEN CALYX
Last Line: THE NIGHT WILL SPILL FOR THEE.
Subject(s): DESIRE;

The world is a golden calyx,
A-swing in the blooth of time,
Where floret to floret ripens
And the starry blossoms rhyme.
Thou art the fair seed vessel
Waiting all day for me,
Who ache with the golden pollen
The night will spill for thee.
