SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love is like a wind that passes
Last Line: Its fingers through the blades and grasses.
Subject(s): Love


LOVE is like a wind that passes
Its fingers through the blades and grasses.
Love itself is hidden from sight,
But all we see is through its light;
Love is like a soft song sweeping
The hills and valleys of its keeping;
Love is like a white scythe gleaning
Every meadow's happy meaning.
Oh, the meadow's dream we saw there,
Soft enough so ferns could grow there!
Love is like a flame unfolding,
Needs delight should wait its moulding,
Needs delight should wait while sorrow
Makes it pure for love to-morrow.
Love is like a wind that passes
Its fingers through the blades and grasses.
