UNITY, by                    
First Line: A sombre pine is stirred
Last Line: And brushed by the bird's soft wing.
Subject(s): Dreams; Pine Trees; Nightmares


A sombre pine is stirred
By the recreant wind on high,
And out of the gloom, like a word
Breaketh a bird to the sky.

The sky speaks truth through a star,
The star seeks the heart of the sea,
To the sea strives a river afar,
To the river a brook laughs free,

And down to the brook there gleams
The thread of a mountain spring,
Born in the hush of that pine-tree's dreams,
And brushed by the bird's soft wing.
