I long
To sweep the sky
On the shoulders of the
Night-wind, in search of hidden stars
And purple mist.
I pray
For wings of birds
That glisten in sunlight,
And flutter over black hilltops
Scattering songs.
I go
Alone, dreaming
Where spurting winds steal great
Blue-sheets of ocean tide roaring
On some strange shore.
