RESPONSE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: There is a music of immaculate love
Last Line: Emotions -- that are flowers -- born of such.
Subject(s): Love; Music & Musicians


THERE is a music of immaculate love,
That beats within the virgin veins of Spring, --
And trillium blossoms, like the stars that cling
To fairies' wands; and, strung on sprays above,
White-hearts and mandrake blooms -- that look enough
Like the elves' washing -- white with laundering
Of May-moon dews; and all pale-opening
Wild-flowers of the woods are born thereof.
There is no sod Spring's white foot brushes but
Must feel the music that vibrates within,
And thrill to the communicated touch
Responsive harmonies, that must unshut
The heart of Beauty for Song's concrete kin,
Emotions -- that are flowers -- born of such.
