GHOSTS by RICHARD KENDALL MUNKITTRICK

First Line: OUT IN THE MISTY MOONLIGHT
Last Line: "THAT DIED IN THE EARLY SPRING."
The sun waters the pastures of heaven
With warm rains of light;
For the golden-lambkins to graze . .
The star-flocks of night

Faintly they seem to whisper,
As round the boughs they wing:
"We are the ghosts of the blossoms
That died in the early spring."
