MOONRISE, by                 Poet's Biography
First Line: Will you glimmer on the sea?
Last Line: We measure her by the pine trees.
Alternate Author Name(s): H. D.; Aldington, Richard, Mrs.
Subject(s): Bible


Will you glimmer on the sea?
will you fling your spear-head
on the shore?
what note shall we pitch?
we have a song,
on the bank we share our arrows;
the loosed string tells our note:

O flight
bring her swiftly to our song.
She is great,
we measure her by the pine trees.
