SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A scarlet bird went sailing away through / the wood...
Last Line: That floated by.


A SCARLET bird went sailing away through the wood . . .
It was only a mist of dream
That floated by.
Bare boughs of my apple-tree,
Beautiful gray arms stretched out to me,
Swaying to and fro like angels' wings . . .
It was only a mist of dream
That floated by.
