Subject(s): Poetry & Poets


I speak your name -- a magic thing --
Jocund April takes my hand,
Golden birds begin to sing.
Laughter fills the silver land.

I speak your name -- a Matin bell --
Buoyant, godlike you arise --
Flinging for the slumber-spell
Laid upon your heart and eyes.

I speak your name -- and Summer's here --
Glad beyond all Summers gone --
And you are shining like the spear
God fashioned in His first day's dawn.
