THE SPELL, by EDNA FREDERIKSON
First Line: Set in strong inevitable flight
Last Line: For a golden moment time is still.
Subject(s): Seasons; Time
First Line: Set in strong inevitable flight
Last Line: For a golden moment time is still.
Subject(s): Seasons; Time
Set in strong inevitable flight,
Time beats in Winter's windy night.
Swift in Spring as a swallow fled,
Time walks the Summer with measured tread.
But when Fall is warm on a hazy hill,
For a golden moment time is still.
