LOVE by GLADYS CROMWELL

First Line: HUSH, HUSH, O WIND
Last Line: I MAY NOT STRIVE WITH YOU.
Subject(s): LOVE; REST; TOUCH (SENSE);

HUSH, hush, O wind!
Between the leaves you creep,
You grope like something blind.
The tree tops as they sleep,
The standing spears of grass,
You'll touch them when you pass.

Still, still, O love!
My need awaits your dower,
My foolish heart your power;
Though sorrow dawn anew
I may not strive with you.
