SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 73 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: ONCE MORE THE WOODS GROW CRIMSON
Last Line: YOUR HAND-TOUCH -- AND BE SURE.
Subject(s): TIME; DESIRE;

Once more the woods grow crimson,
Once more the year burns down,
Once more my feet come home
To the little seaboard town.
Once more I learn desire
Prevails but to endure,
And the heart springs to meet
Your hand-touch -- and be sure.
