SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 13, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Look, love, along the low hills
Last Line: Heed thou love alone!
Subject(s): Stars


Look, love, along the low hills
The first stars!
God's hand is lighting the watchfires for us,
To last until dawn.
Hark, love, the wild whippoorwills!
Those weird bars,
Full of dark passion, will pierce the dim forest,
All night, on and on,
Till the overbrimmed bowl of life spills,
And time mars
The one perfect piece of his handcraft, love's lifetime
From dewrise till dawn.
Foolish heart, fearful of ills!
Shall the stars
Require a reason, the birds ask a morrow?
Heed thou love alone!
